Our Neighbourhood
The area around our home is our neighbourhood. We see many places
in our neighbourhood.

The Post Office

The post office helps us to send and

receive letters and parcels. We post our
letters in the post box. We can also buy
postcards, stamps, envelopes etc from the
post office.

The Police Station

The police station helps us to keep the
neighbourhood safe. We go to the police
station to complain about stolen things
and about accidents.

The Fire Station

We call the fire station when there is a
fire at home or in the neighbourhood.
A fire engine is used to put out the fire.
 The School
A school is a place where we go to learn to
read and write. We play and make friends
there too. We also do many other activities
in school.

The Playground or The Park

We go to play or walk in the playground or a park.
There are many swings and slides there . There are
also benches on which people can sit.

The Hospital
There are times when we fall sick. At such
times, we go to the doctor’s clinic or in a
hospital.

The Market
We go to the market to buy fruits and
vegetables. We also buy grains, milk, eggs, etc.
from the market. These days we go to the
supermarket to buy everything we need.

The Bank
A bank is a place to keep our money and other
valuables safe. To do that we need a bank account .
Now, we can withdraw and deposit money through
an ATM machine.
 The Bus Stop
A bus stop is a place where buses stop. People wait
there in queues. Buses help us to reach our
destinations. Buses with different numbers stop
there.

Our neighbourhood must be safe, clean and a friendly place to live in. We must
keep it that way.
Summary
The area around our home is our neighbourhood. We all like to live in a clean
safe and a friendly neighbourhood. We see many places in the neighbourhood like
hospital, bus stop, school, playground, fire station, post office, bank, market and a
police station.
