INTRODUCTION

The NCF 2005 recommends that the children's life at school

must be linked their life outside the school.

Text books are not the only source of knowledge, but it

should support children to construct knowledge through all
sources around them, such as people, their environment,
newspaper, magazines, other books, TV, radio, internet etc.

There is an attempt to discourage the rote learning and the

maintenance of sharp boundaries between different areas.
There are six major themes in EVS curriculum at
Primary level. They are
1.)Family and Friends
2.)Food
3.)Water
4.)Shelter
5.)Travel
6) Things we make and do
