Class 2कक्षा 2

Reading a whole Hindi word and matching it to its picture — the step after मात्रा.

Sarangi 2 — two- and three-अक्षर word reading. Class 1 built मात्रा; this reads the finished word.

Digraphs and blends — sh, ch, th, br, fl — where two letters make a single sound.

Mridang 2. The step after Class 1 CVC work, and where sounding out letter-by-letter stops working: "sh" is not s-h.

Sorting everyday things into cubes, spheres and cylinders — a dice, a laddoo, a tin.

Joyful Mathematics 2 Ch 2 ("Shapes Around Us"), which teaches 3D shapes by naming real objects rather than drawing nets.

How we travel, the places around us, and the food we eat — in Hindi and English.

EVS. CBSE sets no Class 2 EVS textbook, so this follows the topic set schools use: transport, our neighbourhood, our food.

Putting a process in order — egg to butterfly, field to roti, and how a letter reaches someone.

General Knowledge. Class 1 ordered lists a child had memorised; this orders cause and effect, which is the harder half.

Naming Indian instruments and the things we make — tabla, bansuri, rangoli, kathputli.

Art & Craft. Grounded in Indian instruments and folk craft rather than generic art supplies.

Sorting a day into moving, resting and eating well — and learning that all three are needed.

Health & Physical Education. Not framed as healthy vs unhealthy: sleep is not a bad habit, and a child should not be taught that it is.

Two rhymes with their tunes — a traditional English round, and a Hindi counting rhyme for the tens.

Two rather than five on purpose: by Class 2 the syllabus moves poetry into Sarangi 2 itself. Every lyric's source is shown on screen.
