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.

1. Read the story and answer the questions.
Aryan was thrilled when he received a brand-new speaker for his birthday. It wasn’t just any speaker—it could change the colour of the lights and even switch off the fans! Aryan set it up in his room and said, ‘Turn the lights blue!’ Instantly, his room was a cool shade of blue.
That night, he played his favourite songs and watched the lights change colour with the music. As he lay on his bed, he thought, ‘This is the best gift ever!’ He couldn’t wait to show his friends.
The next day, Aryan invited his friends, Rohan and Meera, to see the speaker in action. They had fun making the lights dance to music and playing jungle sounds. When Aryan’s little sister, Ananya, walked in, she thought it was ‘magic.’

However, after continuous use, the speaker overheated and shut down. Aryan realised that while technology is fun, it should be used wisely. He and his friends decided to play outside instead, and enjoy a real-world adventure.
