 Important Notes

Part 6

  • When we have diarrhoea and vomiting, we lose a lot a wate from our body. This can be dangerous, if we do not take care. It is important that we make up for the water that we lose from our body. 
  • We should drink a lot of water when this lose from our body. We should drink a lot of water when this happens. We should also mix some salt and sugar in the water. For this, mix one teaspoon sugar and a pinch of salt in one glass of boiled and cooled water. Taste it to make sure that there is not too much salt. The water should not taste more salty than our tears.
  • When a person has diarrhoea and vomiting, the water must be sipped slowly by them. Light food must be taken. Babies should continue to take their mother’s milk as this is good for them. It is also necessary to take some medicines- they can also be home-made remedies. If the diarrhoea does not stop, it is important to get the advise of a doctor.
  • Root vegetables are the underground plant parts eaten by humans as food. It includes beets, carrots, radishes, sweet potatoes and turnips.
  • Banyan tree has unusual roots. The hanging branches are actually the roots of the tree. These grow down from the branches until they reach  the ground. These roots are like pillars that provide that provide strong support to the tree. The banyan tree also has roots under the ground, just as other trees have.

 

 

There is a law against cutting trees

There was a tree growing close to a lamp post. The tree
was so full of leaves that the light of the bulb was
blocked. People felt that the branches of the tree needed
to be trimmed. Before they do this, they need to take
written permission from the government office.
 
  • Desert Oak is a tree that is found in Australia. It grows
    almost as tall as your classroom wall. It has very few leaves.
    Guess how deep its roots go down? Imagine the length of
    about 30 such trees laid down in a line end to end, one after
    another. That is how long the roots of this tree can be. These
    roots go deep into the ground till they reach water. This
    water is stored in the tree trunk. Local people knew about
    this. When there was no water in the desert, the local people
    use to put a thin pipe into the trunk of the tree, to drink this
    water.
  • Magh Bihu is celebrated on 14 and 15 of January
    (1st and 2nd Magh, the tenth month of Assamese calendar). The first day is
    called Uruka, and that day people build a temporary shed called Bhela Ghar
    and have a community feast. Bora is a common variety of rice used in Assam.
    These are ‘sticky’ rice.

 

Mid-day Meal 

EVERY CHILD’S RIGHT

Many children in our country are not able to get even
one full meal every day. Many of them go to school
empty stomach and cannot study properly. 

Some years ago, the highest court of our country gave
an important decision. All children up to elementary
school should be provided with hot, cooked food. This
is the right of every child.
