Shops and stalls stand on both sides of the street.

• On one side: a food stall, a fruit and vegetable stall and two dustbins.
• On the other side: a cloth shop, a grocery shop and another food stall.

It is a busy market street.

Two dustbins are kept so that we can keep wet waste and dry waste apart.

Wet waste can become manure for plants. Dry waste can be used again.

The man cannot see. He is blind.

The white stick helps him walk. He taps it on the road to find stones, steps and holes. The white colour tells other people to make way for him.

The boys are playing with spinning tops. Many children call a top a lattoo.

One boy has a red top and the other has a green top. A string is wound round the top. The boy throws it down and pulls the string. The top spins on its point.

There is only one bullock-cart in the picture.

A white bullock pulls it. The cart is full of sacks. A man in yellow clothes drives it.

The animals are a bullock, goats, a dog, a cat and birds.

What the poem says:

1. The Sun shines bright all day.
2. At night it sinks behind a far-away hill.
3. The world grows dark and quiet, and the child goes to sleep.
4. In the morning the child wakes up and sees the Sun shining again.

Three pairs of words rhyme in this poem.

The two words in each pair end with the same sound.

The poet says the day peeps because in the morning the light comes out slowly, like someone peeping from behind a door.

The Sun sinks behind a distant hill. Then the whole world grows dark and still, and night comes.

The sunflower, the plants and the children need the Sun.

• The sunflower and the plants need sunlight to grow and to make their food.
• Children need sunlight to stay strong and healthy.

Toys and a table are not living things. They do not need the Sun.

When I look up in the day, I see clouds, birds, kites and aeroplanes. Sometimes I see a rainbow. At night I see the Moon and the stars.

At sunrise and sunset the sky turns red, orange, pink, yellow and golden.

Sometimes we see a little purple too. The clouds near the Sun take these colours.

At night we see the Moon and many stars. The sky looks dark. The Moon may be round or just a thin curve. Sometimes clouds hide it.

Say how you really feel, what you see first and what you do next.

One child is the Spy. The others guess.

1. The Spy secretly picks a thing in the room.
2. The Spy gives a clue: ‘I spy with my little eye something that is blue!’
3. The others look around and guess.
4. The child who guesses right becomes the new Spy.

They must look around and find something yellow.

The girl is the Spy. ‘It is yellow’ is her clue. The others may guess a yellow pencil, a yellow bag or a yellow flower.
