A Visit to a Garden

1. Listen carefully, read with me and learn.

Children of class IV B went to a big garden for a picnic. At the gate, they saw a big board. The names of the different parts of the garden were written on the board, one below the other. “What a long list !’’ the children said.
“Where shall we go first ?’’ someone asked. “To the lake ! Boating!’’ many children said.

“But how do we go there ?’’
“See, there’s a map of the garden here, we will see the map and find our way to the lake.”
The teachers took the children to the lake for boat rides. Then they sat under a tree to eat some snacks.
There was another big board near the tree. There was a chart on the board with pictures of trees in it.
“What does it mean, Teacher ?’’ the children asked.

“It’s a pictogram or pictograph,” said the Teacher. “It gives you information with the help of pictures. This chart tells us how many trees of each type there are in this garden. Now look at the chart carefully and tell me what trees there are
in this garden.”
“Mango, neem, jamun, banyan, peepal, gulmohar, bakul, jarul (tamhan) and rain trees.”
“Very good. Now tell me how many trees of each type there are.”
The children answered this question correctly. Can you answer the question with the help of this pictogram ?”

2. Now, as a class activity, prepare the following to give some information related to your school.

* Any list. (Put your list in alphabetical order.)
* Any map.
* Any pictogram.
l You may discuss the topics for the pictogram in Marathi. But the title and the labels in the pictogram must be in English. (Furniture, rooms, trees, people, etc.)
