What Is in Sports and Wellness? (Class 6 English Unit 4)
- The unit has three texts. Change of Heart is a story about Prabhat, a boy who could not bear to lose, and Surya, a new student whose cheerful playing teaches Prabhat what sporting spirit really means.
- The Winner by Georgia Heard is a short free-verse poem about children who play ball in a neighbour’s field every evening until darkness stops them — and the poem gives the victory to Night.
- Yoga–A Way of Life explains what yoga is, where the word comes from, what Sage Patanjali wrote in the Yoga Sutras, the benefits of asanas and breathing, and why the WHO and the United Nations have taken yoga to the whole world.
- The idea that joins all three texts is wellness — health of the body and of the mind. Prabhat learns to enjoy a game, the children in the poem run till they are breathless, and the yoga text shows how breath, movement and calm work together.
- The language work of the unit covers making small words from a long word, the past perfect tense for the older of two past actions, personification and the shape of lines in poetry, and the practice / practise and advice / advise noun–verb spelling pairs.
- The listening, speaking and writing tasks include a sports-day announcement, four sport riddles, the three magic words please, thank you and sorry, Prabhat’s diary page, a paragraph on your playtime and a paragraph on the benefits of yoga.
