Chapter 4, Our School — A Happy Place, looks at the people who make a school run, why rules matter, and how teamwork and respect shape a good school community. These questions revisit those ideas.
Practice Questions
Q1. Name three different people who work in a school besides teachers.
The principal, support staff, and the librarian are all part of a school besides teachers.
Q2. Why do schools have rules like reaching on time and wearing a uniform?
Rules help keep order, ensure fairness, and create a safe, organised environment where everyone can learn.
Q3. Give one example of teamwork you might see in a school.
Students working together on a group project, or a sports team practising together, both show teamwork.
Q4. Why is it important to respect classmates who come from different backgrounds?
A school brings together children from many families and communities, and respecting differences helps everyone feel welcome and learn from one another.
Q5. What is one way a student can help keep the school clean?
Throwing waste only in dustbins instead of on the floor or playground.
Why These Help
Seeing a school as a small community — with different roles, shared rules, and teamwork — helps students understand why cooperation and respect matter, both in school and later in any workplace or neighbourhood.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why is school called a “happy place” and not just a place to study?
Besides lessons, school is where children make friends, play, take part in activities, and learn to work with others — all of which shape a happy, well-rounded childhood.
