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.

Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary (5 marks)

1. Read the story and answer the questions.

Chaos in the Meadow

In a quaint little meadow, chaos was brewing. Much to Mrs Hedgehog’s dismay, Benny the rabbit was tunnelling furiously through her flower beds.

‘Benny, mind my daisies!’ she yelled, shaking her tiny paws.

Meanwhile, Timmy the piglet was trotting clumsily through the mud, trying to snatch apples from the mischievous monkeys. This created a grand commotion. Over in the corner, Molly the mole popped her head out of the ground, her snuffling nose twitching.

‘What’s all this racket about?’ she mumbled, blinking against the sunlight.

But the true troublemaker was Sammy the squirrel who was, as usual, stealing snacks. Just as he snatched a chunk of Benny’s carrot, a gust of wind carried his bushy tail onto Mrs. Hedgehog’s prickly back.

‘Sammy!’ she huffed.

‘Ouch!’ screamed Sammy.

Yet, despite Sammy’s naughtiness, the animals showed surprising kindness. They untangled Sammy’s tail from Mrs. Hedgehog’s spines and Timmy ran for some ointment. Sammy gave Timmy one of his stolen apples in return for this kind act.

In the end, the meadow returned to peace, a cosy place filled with laughter and friendship.

Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary (5 marks)

1. Read the story and answer the questions.

Astronauts are Heroes

Astronauts are like space superheroes, always ready for the unexpected! Their training includes solving tricky problems in situations that mimic real space emergencies, such as technical failures and leaks that need immediate fixing. They also work as a team and practise to stay calm and focussed, no matter the challenge. Astronauts learn to adapt quickly when plans change.

Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were scheduled for a brief eight-to-ten-day space mission in 2024 aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. However, due to technical issues with the spacecraft, their mission was extended to an incredible 286 days—over nine months—in space. Despite the unexpected change, they adapted and contributed to over 150 scientific experiments during their time aboard the International Space Station. They embraced the surprises of space exploration as adventures. With smiles and determination, these astronauts showed us that bravery means trusting your skills and staying optimistic, even when things don’t go as planned.

A. Answer the questions in two to four sentences. (2)

a. Name two things that astronauts are trained to do.

b. Why did Williams and Wilmore stay in space longer than expected?

a. unforseen

c. imitate

b. tough

d. adjust

C. Choose the most suitable compound adjectives to fill in the blanks. (1)

Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary (10 marks)

1. Read the story and answer the questions.

As usual, Joyti and Mia were locked in a heated debate. ‘Rollerblades are faster!’ Joyti boasted, zooming in circles. ‘Wrong! You can’t beat a skateboard!’ Mia replied sharply. Their science teacher, Mr Reddy, overheard. ‘Okay, speedsters! Let’s settle this in a scientific way. We’ll measure speed and identify the science behind it.’ They set up ramps in the school hall and got a measuring tape and a stopwatch. ‘We’ll calculate the speed. Speed equals distance divided by time,’ Mr Reddy explained. The entire class gathered, chanting as if they were attending the Olympics! Joyti raced first. Her rollerblades whizzed 20 meters in 10 seconds. ‘Your speed is 2 meters per second!’ said Mr Reddy and everyone cheered. Mia went next, and her skateboard took 12 seconds for the same distance. One of her classmates said, ‘That’s 1.67 meters per second.’

Let them race against each other in the passage just for fun, cried the class. This time Mia zipped ahead but missed a turn and crashed into the wall. Joyti gave a mocking laugh as she whooshed past, only to hit a random pencil and wipe out.

‘Science lesson,’ Mr Reddy said jokingly, ‘speed is useless without balance! Also, don’t mess with pencils.’
