Preface

Assessments are more than just a means of measuring progress—they are essential tools to guide and enrich a child’s learning journey. This Assessment Booklet has been carefully structured to support teachers in the process of evaluating student learning at regular intervals, while reinforcing key concepts.

Each grade includes two booklets per subject, structured into Part I and Part II to ensure systematic and continuous assessment. Each booklet provides three test papers—two Periodic Assessments and one Term-End Paper—offering a balanced approach to evaluating students’ progress. This structured format allows for regular checkpoints in the learning process, enabling educators to track student performance at different stages and adapt their teaching strategies to meet individual learning needs.

Rooted in the principles of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF), this booklet promotes competencybased learning by prioritising conceptual understanding, problem-solving, and critical thinking over rote memorisation. A carefully designed blend of objective and subjective questions supports different learning styles, while application-based and interdisciplinary questions help students make deeper connections across subjects.

Designed for teachers, this booklet features ready-to-use, perforated sheets for easy distribution and efficient assessment management. It includes ten copies of each of the three assessments, ensuring seamless classroom use.

Beyond academic skills, these assessments encourage students to think independently, apply their knowledge in new contexts, and develop confidence in their problem-solving abilities. By engaging with a variety of question types—ranging from reasoning-based exercises to application-oriented tasks—students are not just preparing for exams but building essential skills for lifelong learning.

This booklet is a practical resource for teachers, students, and parents, ensuring that assessments are purposeful, skill-driven and aligned with real learning needs.

Assess, reflect, and grow—because every learning milestone matters.

The Indian Koel

The Indian koel is a bird with some very strange habits! Unlike most birds, the female koel doesn’t build her own nest. Instead, she finds another bird’s nest and lays her eggs there. These birds don’t even notice! They take care of the koel’s eggs, thinking they are their own. When the baby koels hatch, they are noisy and hungry, chirping loudly for food. The parent birds feed them just as they would feed their own chicks. Koels are not only clever, but they are also known for their special calls. You can hear their loud ‘kuhoo-kuhoo’ early in the morning.

Koels enjoy eating fruit, especially berries, as well as insects. The seeds pass through their bodies and come out in their droppings. This helps the seeds spread to different areas.
