Bab 5: Fun in the Park, Numbers & Time
This bab covers Units 13–15. Pupils learn the phonemes /l/, /dZ/ (j), /v/, /w/, /ks/ (x), count cardinal numbers 1–20, and tell the time using o'clock.
Pupils talk about things at the park:
doll
bell
log
leg
ball
The phoneme /l/ is represented by 'l' and 'll':
| 'l' /l/ | Imagine eating a lollipop. Say 'l' in lollipop. | |
| 'll' /l/ | Same sound, double letter at end of word. | |
| Blend words | lip, lamp, clam, glass, mall, bill | |
Pupils read a short story:
Jay Sen and his father like to stroll in the park.
The park is near a lake. There are many tall trees.
Suddenly, they see a ball on a log.
Jay Sen picks up the ball and hears someone saying '...'
Pupils rearrange letters to form action words:
I ____ (unr) around the park. → run
I ____ (ickk) the ball. → kick
I ____ (ujmp) up and down. → jump
I ____ (ikps) in the park. → skip
Pupils chant while doing actions:
Roll the ball, roll, roll, roll, roll the ball.
Quick! Quick! Quick! Roll the ball to the wall.
Pick up the doll, pick, pick, pick.
Pick up the doll, near the wall.
Action words (verbs) tell what we do: run, kick, jump, skip, walk. The phoneme /l/ can be spelled with 'l' (lip) or 'll' (ball, bill).
Pupils chant and count jam jars (1 to 12):
One jar, two jars, three jars, four,
Four jars with jam, in that little store.
Five jars, six jars, seven jars, eight,
Nine jars, ten jars, eleven jars, twelve.
Actions and example words for /dZ/ (j) and /v/:
| 'j' /dZ/ | Imagine throwing a paper jet. Say 'j' in jet. | |
| 'v' /v/ | Imagine driving a van. Say 'v' in van. | |
| Example words | jug, jet, van, vest | |
Number words from 1 to 20:
| 1–5 | one, two, three, four, five | |
| 6–10 | six, seven, eight, nine, ten | |
| 11–15 | eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen | |
| 16–20 | sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty | |
Pupils write cardinal numbers in word form:
e ___ = 8 (eight)
f ___ = 4 (four)
e ___ = 11 (eleven)
s ___ = 7 (seven)
f ___ = 14 (fourteen)
t ___ = 3 (three)
t ___ = 20 (twenty)
f ___ = 5 (five)
Pupils recite a number rhyme:
One, two, the class is blue.
Three, four, give me more.
Five, six, don't be sick.
Seven, eight, stand up straight.
Nine, ten, switch on the fan.
Eleven, twelve, stand near the shelf.
Cardinal numbers tell 'how many': one, two, three... up to twenty. The number words from 13 to 19 all end in '-teen'. The number 20 is 'twenty'.
Pupils recite the rhyme and talk about daily activities:
Hickory dickory dock, the mouse went up the clock.
The clock struck six, the mouse came down.
What time do you go to school? Why?
Actions and example words for /w/, /ks/, /gz/:
| 'w' /w/ | Put both hands out as in 'wow'. Say 'w' in wow. | |
| 'x' /ks/ or /gz/ | Show six fingers. Say 'x' in six. | |
| Blend words | web, wax, kiwi, ox, fox, exam | |
Vinod's daily routine and the times:
| 6 o'clock | Vinod wakes up (morning) | |
| 7 o'clock | Vinod goes to school (morning) | |
| 1 o'clock | Vinod goes home (afternoon) | |
| 3 o'clock | Vinod does his homework (afternoon) | |
| 5 o'clock | Vinod goes to the park (evening) | |
| 8 o'clock | Vinod does his revision (evening) | |
| 9 o'clock | Vinod sleeps (night) | |
Pupils role-play a dialogue about lunch:
It is one o'clock. Let us have lunch, Mr Fox.
What is in your lunchbox, Mr Ox?
Six slices of watermelon. Would you like a slice, Mr Fox?
Yes, thank you. — You are welcome, Mr Fox.
Pupils write sentences using time and activity words:
It is ____ in the morning. Let us go ____. (six o'clock, to school)
It is ____ in the afternoon. Let us have ____. (one o'clock, lunch)
It is ____ in the evening. Let us go for ____. (five o'clock, a walk)
It is ____ at night. It is ____. (ten o'clock, bedtime)
Pupils sing (to the tune of 'Oh My Darling, Clementine'):
What's the time now? What's the time now?
What's the time now, my friend?
It's five o'clock, it's five o'clock,
It is five o'clock, my friend.
We use 'o'clock' to tell the time when the minute hand is on 12. A day has parts: morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Vinod wakes at 6 o'clock and sleeps at 9 o'clock.
📝 Kosa Kata
The word 'o'clock' is short for 'of the clock'. Before clocks, people used the sun's shadow (sundials) to tell the time. The numbers 13–19 all end with '-teen', which is why teenagers are aged 13 to 19!
