Key Concepts
A Kite (Poem)
This poem describes a kite flying high in the sky. A kite is made of paper or cloth on a light frame. It flies when the wind blows. The kite goes up, dips down, and dances in the air. When the wind stops, the kite comes down. Flying a kite is a fun activity, especially on windy days.
Sundari (Story)
Sundari is a beautiful elephant. She lives with her keeper in a village. Sundari is big and strong but also gentle and kind. She helps carry heavy loads. She loves to take a bath in the river. Children love to watch Sundari because she is friendly. The story teaches us about elephants and how they live with people.
About Elephants
Elephants are the largest animals that live on land. They have a long trunk, big ears, and thick legs. They use their trunk to eat food, drink water, and spray water on their body. Elephants are very smart and have a very good memory. Baby elephants are called calves.
Describing Words
Describing words tell us more about a thing or a person. The kite is colourful. Sundari is big. The sky is blue. The wind is strong. These words — colourful, big, blue, strong — are describing words. They make our sentences more interesting.
