“Fun with Pictures” is a beautiful chapter from Unit 3: Food. In this chapter, children look at colourful pictures of fruits and vegetables and talk about them.
The chapter helps children learn the names of fruits and vegetables, their colours, and why they are good for us. It also includes a song, a story about visiting the market, speaking activities, and writing practice.
Children learn that fruits and vegetables are healthy and should be eaten every day.
Detailed Notes (Explanation)
In the first picture, we see many fruits and vegetables like mango, banana, apple, watermelon, pineapple, carrot, cabbage, brinjal, peas and many more.
Children are asked:
What do you see?
How many fruits are there?

This helps children observe carefully and speak in English.
Then we sing a song called “Fruits for All.”
Five mangoes hang on the tree. The tree shares its fruits with:

You and me
This teaches sharing and kindness.
Next, we read a story called “A Visit to the Market.”
