Tara and friends are busy producing their ‘Class Magazine’. Many children have sent their contributions to the magazine. Others have helped to write it in a beautiful hand and decorate it with colours, photos, pictures and designs. They want to display it on the classroom walls in the form of a collage. That is why they have cut out pieces of the articles. They will arrange them on coloured paper with appropriate illustrations. But sadly, the pieces have all got mixed up. Can you help Tara to sort out the pieces?

Have you helped Tara and friends to clear the confusion? Now plan a Class Magazine for your own class. You may add other interesting sections to it. All the friends and especially Tara would love to read your Magazine. If you want the others to read it, be sure to add interesting stuff.
