Key Concepts
Clouds (Poem)
This poem is about clouds in the sky. Clouds are white and fluffy, and they float in the sky. Sometimes they look like animals or shapes. When clouds become dark and heavy, they bring rain. Rain is very important for plants, animals, and people. The poem helps us look at the sky and use our imagination to see shapes in the clouds.
Anandi's Rainbow (Story)
Anandi is a little girl who sees a beautiful rainbow in the sky after the rain stops. She is amazed by the colours. She asks her grandmother about the rainbow. Her grandmother tells her that a rainbow has seven colours. Anandi is very happy and wants to paint a rainbow. The story teaches us about the beauty of nature and the colours of the rainbow.
Seven Colours of the Rainbow
A rainbow has seven colours. They always appear in the same order: Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red. We can remember the order using the name VIBGYOR. Rainbows appear in the sky when the sun shines after the rain. Sunlight splits into seven colours when it passes through raindrops.
Weather Words
Weather tells us what it is like outside. It can be sunny, cloudy, rainy, or windy. On a sunny day, the sky is clear and bright. On a cloudy day, clouds cover the sun. On a rainy day, water falls from the clouds. After rain, sometimes we can see a rainbow.
