NCERT Solutions for Class 5th The World Around Us Chapter 4 My school, in my own words — Write

This is about your own school, so your answer will be your own. A good answer names one real thing and then says why it matters to you. One clear example is better than a long list.

Sample answer: “What I really like about my school is the big neem tree in the corner of the playground. We sit under it during the lunch break and eat our tiffin together, and it is cool there even in May. My friend Rukhsar and I saw a woodpecker on it last month. I also like my class teacher, because when I could not do the division sums she did not scold me — she sat with me and did two sums slowly with me, and after that I could do the rest myself. And I like Wednesday, because that is our library period.”

Start with things you can do yourself, this month, without waiting for permission or money.

Sample answer: “I will make my school greener by adopting the small guava sapling near the gate. I will water it every Monday and Thursday and tell the gardener if it looks dry. With my friends I will also ask our teacher for permission to dig a compost pit behind the kitchen, so that the vegetable peels from the mid-day meal go there instead of into the dustbin. In the rainy season we will sow jamun seeds in old tins and plant them out when they are big enough.”

Tell a trusted grown-up straight away. Never keep a difficulty to yourself, and never think you have to solve it alone.

Sample answer: “If there is a difficulty at school I will first tell my class teacher, because she is with us every day and knows all of us. If it is something big or something I am afraid to say aloud, I will write it on a slip of paper and give it to her. I will also tell my mother the same evening at home, so that two grown-ups know. If the problem is about something in the school building — a broken bench or a dirty toilet — my teacher will tell the office, or our class monitor will write it in the complaint book.”
