Note from the authorom the author Note fr \"The zest for learning is inherent in every individual. The Teacher's job is just to bring it out\". This is a quote from Maria Montessori. The text books are only a medium in the process of learning. This book is not intended to be a Bible for the Teacher. It is meant to be a friend and companion of the Student. These books have been designed to give quality education. They are inclusive of English, English Grammar, Mathematics, EVS (Social Studies, Sciences), G.K. and Computers. Prime Years is a set of three term books for Classes 1 to 5. The burden on children's shoulders is reduced as they need not carry books for all subjects. To carry a single book for a term is enough. The essential features of Prime Years series are : v They are graded according to learning levels. v The language is simple and helps in self learning. v Many learning activities are provided. v They strive to fulfill cognitive, effective and psychomotor domains of educational objectives. v The content and style relate learning matter to the real world. The presentation is intended to develop thinking skills and enable the students apply the knowledge in solving problems in practical life situations and not to make the students mere bookworms. Many activities have been given in the Text Book for quicker learning : Question Box tests the knowledge and understanding of the concepts. Think a Little, Write a Little and Reason Out calls for higher order thinking skills. I can do are tasks to apply the concepts in a different situation or extend his/her learning or learn more from experience. The tasks also calls for self expression, imagination and language skills. Guessing Jar provides questions to develop reasoning, logic and critical thinking. Clue Finder calls for higher cognitive skills like application analysis, synthesis and evaluation. In mathematics, the guided problems are for working out with teacher's guidance while Independent practice problems are for students to work out all by themselves. Question Box usually contains problems based on all the concepts learned in the chapter. It is more of a test or assignment. Problems given in the boxes test higher order thinking skills - both critical and lateral thinking. They are mostly challenging questions or fun activities. The hands - on activities help to learn abstract concepts through concrete medium. The learning activities are planned as per the concept of Multiple Intelligence and learning styles. - Rajalaxmi K. Iyer Author.

7 The Enchanted Frog It was a beautiful summer morning. There was a nice breeze blowing and flowers on trees were in full bloom. The daughter of King James was out to enjoy this beautiful morning. She was playing ball with her friends near a spring by the mountains. They had been playing by the spring for close to an hour. The princess decided that it was time to head back to the palace.

8 \"Hey girls, I think we should go now. Throw me the ball please”, the princess said to her playmates. One of the princess’ friends threw the ball to her. Unfortunately, the ball landed in the spring water. None of the girls knew how to swim, and thus, they could not go and fetch the ball. Suddenly, a frog appeared by the spring. The princess got down to her knees and begged the frog, “Oh Mr. frog!, if you could bring us our ball, I would take you to my lavish palace where you can live in comfort”. The frog, on hearing the princess’ plea, dived in the spring and fetched the ball for her. “Come on girls, let’s go”, said the princess, with the ball in her hands. She had forgotten the promise she had made to the frog. “Princess, you have to take me along. You promised me”, said the frog. The girls were astonished to see a talking frog. They were afraid to stay there any longer. Thus, hurriedly, they made their way back to the palace. At dinner, the princess was seated at the dinner table with her father, enjoying delicious meals, when she heard a knock at the door. She got up to see who it was and she was taken aback by what she saw.

9 “O beautiful princess, please keep your promise and give me shelter in your beautiful palace”. It was the frog that she had met at the spring. Too afraid to think straight, she quickly shut the door and came back to the dining table. However, the king could feel her uneasiness. “What happened, my girl? What’s the matter? You look disturbed”, the king asked her. “Father, I met a frog by the spring today. I promised him to give shelter in my palace in return for his help. However, I didn’t expect that the frog could talk or even come to the palace by himself. He is at the door”, the princess said, very afraid. “Princess, you made a promise to him. Now, you must keep it up”, said the king. Thus, following her father’s advice, the princess brought the frog inside and seated him at the dinner table. “Thank you beautiful princess. Now, please bring your dining plate close to my mouth so that I can eat from it”, the frog said.

10 The princess followed the frog’s request and brought her plate near his mouth with trembling hands. After the frog had eaten a stomach full, he said to the princess, “Now, please pick me up beautiful lady and take me to your bed. I shall sleep the night”. The princess had little choice but to follow the frog’s request. Thus, the frog slept peacefully on princess’ bed, while she lay by his side, afraid to close her eyes. This continued for 3 nights, and it drove the princess to madness. On the third night, the princess thought that she would ask her father to forgive her and throw the frog outside. However, on the fourth morning, she was in for a surprise. When she looked by her side, there was no frog. Instead, there was a handsome, tall prince standing by the side of her bed, looking at her with piercing eyes. “Who are you? And how did you get here?” the princess asked him. “I am the frog that you gave a shelter to. I was enchanted by a soothsayer after I had made fun of him. He had changed me into a frog and told me that if I slept on a princess’ bed and ate from her plate for 3 days, I would become a prince again. Thank you princess for helping me”, said the handsome prince. “What’s your name?” the princess asked. “I am Oliver. Would you marry me?” “Yes”, said the princess. Thus, after taking permission from King James, Oliver and the princess set afoot to get married and lead a happy life ever after.

Why is the sun so bright? Why is the sky very blue? Why moon appears only at night? Tell me, mother dear, why? Why Mother, Why ? 13 Who gives colour to the flowers? Who makes the fruits sweet? Who gives water for us to live? Who creates the five elements That sustains life on our earth? Tell me, mother dear, who? Who paints nature green? Who paints the butterfly’s wings? Who makes the birds fly Tell me, mother dear, why?

14 Why are oceans blue? Why are the rainbows in the sky? Why are animals around? And why are we here? Tell me, mother dear, why? Oh! My darling child, Thank almighty God Who makes all these So that we live happily. He is the great architect Who designed the world Let’s pray for his mercy And seek the shade of his protection.

A Boastful Lion 17 There once lived a lion in Jungle Zangura in Kenya. He was the king of the jungle. He was ferocious and a very good hunter. However, he was arrogant and conceited too. He would often boast of his ferocious hunting skills, his fearsome roar and his huge size. He would especially

target a poor sheep and challenge her often to beat him at the game of hunting. However, the sheep ignored his challenges every time. “You are a coward. You don’t know how to fight. I am the best. I am the best in the jungle”, he often quipped to the sheep and other animals of the jungle. One day, the lion was roaming in the jungle when he encountered a bunch of rats. He gave his loudest scream and ran for his life. He tried hiding behind a tree, behind some bushes, and even in his den. However, everywhere he went, the rats followed him. The whole jungle could hear his screams, but no one came forward to help him. All the animals of the jungle were too fed up with his taunts and jibes. After his screaming did not stop for a good 5 minutes, the sheep decided to help him out. She headed in the direction of the screams. When she reached the scene, what she saw amused her. The ferocious lion was cowering in fear, and there were rats all around him. “Oh, dear sheep, please help me out! They will eat me”, cried the lion. “They are so tiny, and you are so big. How can they eat you?” said the sheep, amused at the lion’s fear. “Rats are the only thing I fear. Please help me out, please! I will be indebted to you for life”, cried the lion again. With a strong kick, the sheep shooed away the rats from the spot. The rats scurried away in different directions. Finally, the lion breathed easy. “Thank you so much dear sheep. You saved my life. But still, there is no better hunter than me”, said the lion, unashamed of boasting again. 18

“Mr. Lion, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. You may be a good hunter, but you are scared of rats. Similarly, I may not be a good hunter, but I am good at a lot of other things, like scaring away rats. It is best not to boast of your skills. One who does not boast is the strongest of them all”, the sheep said to the lion, finally breaking her silence. 19 “I am sorry dear sheep. I will boast no more. Can we be friends?” said the lion, sorry for his behavior. “Yes, of course”, said the sheep. Thus, the lion and the sheep became friends for life.

The Fair Candies and balloons, Magicians and cartoons, Oh it was, Such a lovely afternoon. It was my first time, At a big fair; It happened every year though, But earlier I didn’t care. 23

It was my granddad, Who coaxed me into it; As boy I was glad, I was loving every bit. I saw the bike stuntman, And a man with crazy legs; I even did some shooting, And won myself a can. It was no ordinary can though, It was full of sweets; What an idiot I was, To miss out on such treats. 24
