Key Point: Basic identity summary (fun formula): Identity = Name + Age + Family + Home + Likes/Hobbies
What is 'Myself and Identity'? 'Myself and Identity' helps young children understand who they are. Identity means the things that make you special and tell others about you — your name, age, family, home, likes, and things you can do.
Parts of identity (easy points):
Why identity is important:
Activities to learn about yourself: Draw a self-portrait, make an "All About Me" chart (name, age, family, favourite things), compare height with a friend using a chart, and practise saying your name and address with a grown-up.
Key Point: 5 senses = Seeing + Hearing + Smelling + Tasting + Touching
The human body has many parts like the head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, arms, hands, legs and feet. These parts help us move, eat, play and learn.
We use five senses to know the world around us. Each sense has a special organ and a job:
How senses work: something from the world (a stimulus such as light, sound, smell, taste or touch) reaches the right organ. That organ sends a message to the brain and the brain tells us what we are seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting or feeling.
How to keep body and senses healthy: eat good food, get enough sleep, wash hands, brush teeth, keep eyes and ears clean gently, exercise and play safely.
Key Point: Total family members = number of adults + number of children + number of grandparents + others. (Example: 2 parents + 1 child + 2 grandparents = 5 people)
A family is a group of people who love, care for and live with each other. In Class 1, we learn about the people in our home and how we are related to them. A family can have parents (mother and father), brothers and sisters, grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Some families are small (nuclear family) and some are big (joint family). All families teach us good habits, keep us safe and help us grow.
Relationships means how we are connected to each other. For example, a mother is the parent of a child; a brother and sister are siblings. Roles and responsibilities in a family are simple: parents take care of children, grandparents share stories and help, children help by keeping their room clean and doing small chores. We show love and respect by sharing, listening and saying thank you.
Key ideas children should learn:
Activities to understand this topic: draw your family picture, make a family tree with names, tell a story about one family member, and count how many people live in your home.
Key Point: Total time spent on activities = Time on activity 1 + Time on activity 2 + ... (simple addition)
Likes, Activities and Hobbies are ways to talk about what a child enjoys doing. A "like" is something a child prefers (for example, liking apples or cartoons). An "activity" is something the child does (playing, studying, eating). A "hobby" is a regular activity done for fun and relaxation (such as drawing, singing, or gardening).
At Class 1 level we help children notice and talk about their own likes and the activities they do every day. This helps them understand themselves and share with others. Teachers ask simple questions: What do you like? What games do you play? What is your hobby?
Encourage children to use simple sentences to describe these. For example: "I like blue colour." "I play with my friends." "My hobby is collecting stickers."
Key Point: If temperature > 30°C → Wear light, breathable cotton clothes (1 layer).
Clothes keep our body safe, comfortable and clean. We wear different clothes in different seasons so our body feels good. The three main seasons we think about are:
How to choose clothes: check the weather or how you feel. If it is hot and sunny, pick light colours and breathable fabric. If it is cold, wear layers (a shirt plus a sweater). During rain, choose waterproof items.
Little tips: always keep a spare set of clothes, dry wet clothes in the sun, and wash clothes regularly to keep them clean.
Key Point: Food + Sleep + Exercise = Good Health
What is food? Food is what we eat and drink. It gives us energy to play and study, helps our body grow, and keeps us healthy.
Why food is important
Where food comes from
Types of food (simple food groups)
Healthy habits for food and health
Balanced plate idea
Try to have a little of different food groups on your plate: a grain (roti/rice), a protein (dal/milk/eggs), a vegetable, and a fruit or salad. This helps your body get all it needs.
Key Point: Clean hands = Soap + Water + Scrub for 20 seconds
What is Hygiene and Cleanliness?
Hygiene and cleanliness mean keeping our body, clothes, home and surroundings clean so we stay healthy and do not get sick. Clean things and good habits stop germs (tiny living things we cannot see) from making us ill.
Why is it important?
Good daily habits
How germs spread and how to stop them
Germs can spread when we don’t wash hands, use dirty water, share unclean things, or don’t cover our mouth. We stop them by washing hands, keeping things clean, and using clean water and soap.

Tips for children
Key Point: School = Students + Teachers + Principal + Classrooms + Playground + Books
Our school is the place where children come to learn, play and grow. It has teachers, students, a principal, classrooms, a playground and a library. We follow rules in school so everyone is safe and can learn.
A community is the group of people and places around us. It includes our home, neighbours, shops, parks, doctors, police and helpers like the postman and bus driver. A community gives us things we need, like food, medicines, transport and safety.
School is part of the community. Teachers and parents work together. Community helpers visit school to teach and help. Schools and the community help each other — for example, the community builds roads and gives water; the school teaches children to be kind and to keep the place clean.
We can help our school and community by keeping places clean, following rules, helping younger children, and being polite to everyone. When school and community work together, everyone is healthy, happy and safe.
Key Point: Clean hands = soap + water + 20 seconds
What are safety and good habits?
Safety means keeping yourself away from danger. Good habits are simple, healthy actions we do every day. Together they help you stay healthy, happy and safe at home, school and outside.
Important good habits:
Important safety rules:
Why they are important:
Good habits keep germs away and make your body strong. Safety rules protect you from accidents. Doing small things every day—like washing hands and wearing a helmet—keeps you healthy and safe.
How to learn them:
Key Point: Feeling = Cause + Body reaction (e.g., Happy = Good news + Smile)
Feelings and emotions are what we feel inside when something happens. They help us understand ourselves and others. Everyone—children and adults—has feelings. Some common feelings are happiness, sadness, anger, fear, surprise and calm.
How to recognise feelings:
How to handle feelings:
Remember: All feelings are okay. We should express them kindly and ask for help when we need it.
Key Point: Change = New value − Old value (e.g., Height change = Height now − Height before)
Growth and change mean how living things and objects become different with time. Growth usually means getting bigger, taller or older. Change means any kind of difference that happens — some changes happen slowly (like a child growing), some happen quickly (like ice melting).
