Std. 1
Topics begin with ‘Myself’ – creating an awareness about oneself, parents, family, neighbours, and finally ending with the environment. Students complete a lot of worksheets related to these topics.

Std. 2
Topics from Std. 1 are graded and continued at a slightly higher level. Students draw pictures on various topics and teachers help them understand and read new words by naming things on their pictures.

Std. 3
Topics are linked to nature and the environment and we aim to create awareness. For example, ‘The Beach’ was selected as a theme and children had to collect information on pollution and protection of beaches, marine life, erosion, etc. Children were also taken for a walk on the beach and then given a worksheet to fortify information.

Std. 4
Teachers plan topics and worksheets are created accordingly. Students work on these topics, sometimes in the form of projects, which are guided by teachers. These topics kindle creativity and help instill values.
