The chapter encourages children to share their food with one another and to say “Thank you”.
Children learn that food comes from different sources. The chapter talks about farmers, cows, milk, curds, butter, vegetables and honey.
Children practise speaking about food, favourite sweets, cooking at home and keeping their plates after meals.
They also match food items with shapes and draw special dishes they eat at home.
In Fun with Words, children listen to one-syllable words and practise two-syllable words by clapping for each syllable.

“The Food we Eat” अध्याय में बच्चों द्वारा स्कूल में लाए जाने वाले अलग-अलग भोजन के बारे में बताया गया है।
अध्याय बच्चों को एक-दूसरे के साथ भोजन बाँटने तथा भोजन मिलने पर “Thank you” कहने की सीख देता है।
बच्चे यह समझते हैं कि भोजन हमें अलग-अलग स्रोतों से मिलता है। अध्याय में किसानों, गायों, दूध, दही, मक्खन, सब्जियों और शहद के बारे में बताया गया है।
बच्चे भोजन, पसंदीदा मिठाई, घर में खाना बनाने और भोजन के बाद अपनी प्लेट उठाने के बारे में बोलने का अभ्यास करते हैं।
अध्याय में भोजन की वस्तुओं को उनके आकार से मिलाने तथा घर में खाए जाने वाले विशेष व्यंजनों को चित्रित और रंगीन बनाने की गतिविधि भी है।
Fun with Words में एक syllable वाले शब्दों को एक बार clap करके तथा दो syllable वाले शब्दों को प्रत्येक syllable पर clap करके बोलने का अभ्यास कराया गया है।
