meaningful and full of fun along with doing all your heart desires. Here is a “Journey to the
Cosmos” just for you. It will surely mould you for a better and successful forthcoming year. So

2. Vocabulary usually evolves as our reading grows and serves as a fundamental tool for
communication. Let us acquire new words.
Children will have to make their own dictionary.
They will write down three new words, which they have not heard before, for every letter of the
alphabet for example, words like Asteroid, Black Hole, celestial, Dwarf planet etc
Instructions for creating dictionary
Things you'll need:
• Scrapbook or homemade booklet
• Pencil colours, crayons, markers etc.

• Glue

Take a scrap book to make your dictionary. Try to get paper that will hold up to drawing,
pictures and pasting.
Decide whether you want to draw or paste pictures.
Choose words that are commonly used and that will be easy to draw or find pictures to
represent.
Begin drawing or cutting out pictures that correspond to the words you have chosen. One
page can be used for one letter and it corresponding words and their pictures.
Help the children find suitable pictures. Allow children to draw and the one, who are not
confident in their art skills, can find and cut out pictures from magazines.
Do not forget to write the meaning of the words chosen so that it can benefit the other
students too in building their vocabulary.
• Make your cover page interesting. Enjoy the fun!
Q3.
Imagine that you get a chance to spend a day on Planet Mars, the red planet with your
friends. What will be your preparation and how do you plan to celebrate this wonderful day.
Jot down ten lines about it and make it more interesting by using pictures on a A-3 size
sheet.

Things You'll Need








Scissors
Tape
3 long pieces of string (of equal lengths)
10 medium-length pieces of string (of equal lengths)
Large sheet of cardboard
Marker
Pencil
Compass
Instructions

Cut out a large circle from a sheet of cardboard. Find the center of the circle and make a small dot with a
pencil. This dot will represent the position of the sun on your mobile.

Draw eight circles (the orbit of the planets) around the center dot using a compass. Draw the first four
relatively close to the center dot to represent the four planets that orbit closest to the sun. Leave a gap
between the first four orbits and the next four to represent the space filled with asteroids between the
orbits of planets four and five.

Draw the remaining four orbits using the compass.

Punch a hole through the center dot using the tip of a pair of scissors. Punch one hole at a random point of
each orbit ring radiating outward from the center dot. These holes will hold the strings from which you will
hang your planets.

Cut out smaller cardboard circles to represent all eight planets and one for the sun. Make the circle for the
sun the biggest, followed by the biggest planets, Jupiter and Saturn. Approximately size the other circles to
represent the rest of the planets. Search the Internet for a visual representation of each planet's size and
cut your circles accordingly. Write the name of the planet on each cardboard circle.

Tape a piece of string to each of the planet cardboard circles. Loop the string through the hole for the
appropriate orbit circle and affix it to the large cardboard circle.

Tape three longer pieces of string to the top of the largest cardboard circle. Affix the ends of the string to
a metal coat hanger. Hang the completed mobile.
