Da du s a id:

“Every day I get a fresh twig from the trees nearby. I chew it to make a brush and

remove food particles stuck between my teeth. It gives my gums a good massage too.”

D id you now The modern idea of brushing teeth came from the ndian

hygiene tradition of datun — using twigs of plants like neem, karanj and babool
to clean our teeth.

Q2 As your ran par nts or any

elderly person in your neighbourhood

use to wash their hair, body and clothes and clean their teeth when they were young?

Ask a n elder about four things: h air, body, clothes and teeth. W a
rite wh t they tell you.

Sample answer: My grandmother told me this.

TO CLEAN WHAT SHE USED WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG

Ha r i Reetha and shikakai

Bo y d Besan (gram flour) mixed with water

C otl he s Reetha or a soap bar; the clothes were beaten on a stone

Teeth A datun of neem or babool

Q3 Can t hese things be found now ?

Sample answer: Yes, most of them. Reetha and shikakai are sold in our market. We
can get datun from the neem and babool trees near our home.

Tip: If something is not found now, ask your elders why.

Q1 Hav you v r s

Sample answer: Yes. I have seen monkeys sitting together. One monkey was
picking through the other monkeyʼs hair.

Why This is how monkeys keep their bodies free from insects

Q2 Next time do observe different ways in which animals and insects around you might be
cleaning themselves.

Sample answer: A cat licks its paw and wipes its face. Sparrows roll in the dust. A
dog shakes the water off its body. An elephant sprays water on itself with its trunk.
Birds clean their feathers with their beaks.

Q2 B. Draw  Draw a and divide it into 24 slices. Imagine that
big circle in your notebook

each slice is one hour of the day. Now colour these slices differently based on the

number of hours you spend doing different activities in one entire day of 24 hours. For
example, Moyna spends 8 hours sleeping, 2 hours eating, 6 hours in school or

studying at home, 2 hours playing outside, 2 hours helping her parents at home, 1 hour

watching TV or playing on the phone, 1 hour in the toilet and 2 hours on other
activities. This is what Moynaʼs circle looked like.
