UNIT 2 | Understanding Physical Well Being
"What is wellbeing? Wellbeing is personal and subjective, but it also universally relevant. Wellbeing encompasses the environmental factors that affect us, and the experiences we have throughout our lives. These can fall into traditional policy areas of economy, health, education, and so on. But wellbeing also crucially recognizes the aspects of our lives that we determine ourselves: through our own capabilities as individuals; how we feel about ourselves; the quality of the relationships that we have with other people; and our sense of purpose."

UNIT 3 | Patience
"Patience is the ability to wait calmly for or through something. If it is a virtue, it seems likely that there must be some element of suffering in the waiting, even if the suffering is only boredom and not necessarily physical pain. Some commentators have suggested that patience is not a single virtue, but a combination of others, including: Self-control, to be able to control our own reactions to the situation, and endure it without complaint; Humility, to accept that you are no more important than anyone else, and there is no particular reason why you should not wait; and Generosity, to smile at the world even when it seems to be conspiring against you."

"Child development is a dynamic, interactive process. Every child is unique in interacting with the world around them, and what they invoke and receive from others and the environment also shape how they think and behave.

UNIT 6 | Learning Through Personal Interests, Abilities And Hobbies
"I’ve always maintained that the only way to learn something properly is to get out there and do it. No one learned surfing by, pardon the pun, surfing the web. Sportspeople don’t learn new skills and advantages by reading instructions from a book; they train and make mistakes. Hobbies are a fantastic way of learning, simply because people get out there and actually practice their chosen discipline and experience trial and error, whether it is flower arrangers, woodworkers, or people who tinker with old tape players."

About Lesson
What is a Noun?

Nouns are a part of speech that comprise words that are used to name people, places, animals, objects, and ideas. Almost every sentence will define a noun, and they perform different roles in a sentence. Nouns can act as the subject, an indirect object, a direct object, a subject complement, and an object complement. Nouns can also function as adjectives and verbs.

Examples of Nouns:
  • People – Rahul, Sheela, Man, Person, Tommy, Women, Girl, The Prime Minister
  • Places – Bangalore, India, Mexico, North Pole, South Africa, The Nile River, Classroom, Bedroom, Basketball Court, Cricket Ground, Swimming Pool
  • Animals/Birds/Aquatic Animals/Reptiles – Lion, Zebra, Snake, Ostrich, Flamingo, Bear, Cat, Fish, Shark
  • Ideas – Evolution, Invention, Extinction, Argument, Destruction
  • Objects/Things – Bat, Cycle, Curtains, Paper, Bag, Blackboard, Cupboard
Types of Nouns

Nouns can be broadly classified into:

1. Proper Nouns: Nouns that are used to name a person, place, or thing specifically are called proper nouns. Proper nouns always begin with a capital letter.

Examples:

      • My name is Rose. (Name of a particular person)
      • This is my dog, Bruno. (Name of a specific pet-animal owned by someone)
      • David came back from Minsk. (Name of a specific place)
      • Louis Philippe is a famous brand of men’s clothing. (Name of a particular clothing brand)

2. Common nouns: Common nouns are those nouns that refer to a generic item, group, or place. This means that, unlike proper nouns, they are not used to identify specific people, places, or objects. Common nouns are not capitalized unless they appear at the beginning of a sentence.

Examples:

      • I bought a pen yesterday. (Common object)
      • I am going to school. (Commonplace)
      • Only ten employees showed up to work today. (Common group)
      • The car is out of fuel. (Common items)

3. Singular nouns: These are words that are used to name a single person, place, animal, bird, or object.

Examples:

      • There is a little boy in front of our house. (Single person)
      • That is my daughter. (Single person)
      • I found a wounded sparrow in the bush. (Single bird)
      • A red van has been following us for a long time. (Single object)

4. Plural nouns: Plural nouns refer to several people, places, animals, or things. Nouns are made plural by adding an ‘s’ or ‘es’ or ‘ies’ or ‘ves’ to the existing root word. Nouns that end with an ‘s’ remain the same. Some nouns remain the same in both their singular and plural forms, and some others have different spelling.

Examples:

      • I need some apples.
      • Did you find the boxes you were looking for?
      • I bought mangoes from the market.
      • We took photos of some deer on our way.

5. Countable nouns are those nouns that can be counted or measured.

Examples:

      • Tom brought ten packets of lays for the trip. (specific number – ten)
      • Mom asked me to buy a dozen eggs. (specific – dozen means twelve)
      • I saw an airplane around seven in the morning. (specific – an means one)

6. Uncountable nouns are those nouns that cannot be counted. This category of nouns includes both concrete and abstract nouns.

Examples:

      • I have a lot of homework to do. (Not specific)
      • I have a cup of tea. (Cannot count)
      • We are facing terrible weather today. (Cannot count)

7. Collective Nouns: A collective noun is a naming word that is used to denote a group of objects, animals, or people.

Examples:

      • Collective nouns for groups of animals
        • A pride of lions
        • A flock of sheep
        • A swarm of bees
        • A herd of elephants
      • Collective nouns for groups of people
        • A band of musicians
        • A board of directors
        • A crew of sailors
        • A company of actors
      • Collective nouns for several things/objects
        • A pair of shoes
        • A chain of mountains
        • A fleet of ships
        • A bunch of grapes

8. Concrete Nouns: A concrete noun refers to objects that are material and can be perceived by the human senses.

Examples:

      • The book is on the table.
      • I had a cup of coffee.
      • Sharon opened the windows.
      • Hardy goes to school by bus.

9. Abstract Nouns: Any entity that cannot be perceived by the five senses of the human body are called an abstract noun.

Examples:

    • Love is a strong emotion.
    • Honesty is the best policy.
    • It takes a lot of courage to raise your voice and stand up against injustice.
    • You should not misuse the freedom you are given.
