Academic wings · Classes III – V
Learning beyond textbooks and classroom walls.
In Classes III to V, children explore, experiment and discover — turning the school building, the laboratory and the world outside into places to learn.
Primary Section · Mayoor School Siliguri
The Primary Section of Mayoor School Siliguri, comprising Classes III to V, believes that learning goes beyond textbooks and classroom walls. Our focus is on Experiential Learning and Learning by Doing, where children explore, experiment and discover concepts through real-life experiences.
In Mathematics, we use the BaLA (Building as Learning Aid) approach, transforming the school building into a mathematical learning resource. The Maths Lab, Maths Competitions and Olympiads further develop logical reasoning and problem-solving skills. Our Bengal Safari visit also offers opportunities to explore mathematical concepts through observation and practical experiences.
In EVS, educational visits to Science City, hands-on experiments, surveys, research and virtual tours make learning engaging and meaningful. Language activities and spelling competitions nurture communication and vocabulary.
We recognise the Primary Section as a crucial bridge between Pre-Primary and Middle School, where we strive to build strong academic foundations, curiosity, confidence and lifelong learning skills.
For parents, these three years are often when a child’s attitude to learning takes shape. A child who discovers that maths can be measured on a staircase, or that a question about plants can be answered by a small experiment, tends to stay curious. That curiosity — together with steady habits of reading, careful work and teamwork — is what the Primary Section sets out to build before children move up to middle school.
Teaching and learning
Children between eight and ten are ready for more depth, but they still learn best by doing. Each subject therefore starts with something to touch, see, measure or ask about.
Building as Learning Aid turns corridors, floors, steps and walls into maths resources. Children measure, estimate, find angles and spot patterns and shapes in the spaces they walk through every day, so geometry and measurement become concrete rather than abstract.
In the Maths Lab, children use models and manipulatives to explore number, fractions and shape. Maths competitions and Olympiads give interested pupils a chance to stretch their logical reasoning and problem-solving and to enjoy a healthy challenge.
The Bengal Safari visit is a day of learning outdoors. Children observe animals and habitats, count, compare, estimate distances and record what they see, bringing mathematics and environmental studies together in one experience.
Environmental Studies is taught through experiments, surveys, small research tasks, virtual tours and educational visits to Science City. Children learn to ask a question, gather information and explain what they found in their own words.
Reading, writing, speaking and listening grow through class discussions, reading activities and spelling competitions. Children build vocabulary and accuracy, and gain the confidence to present ideas to classmates.
Art, music, dance, physical education, chess and sport are part of the week. Inter-house events and celebrations such as National Sports Day give every child a chance to take part, try something new and be recognised.

For parents
Classes III to V introduce more structured study across languages, mathematics and EVS. Teachers help children build routines — reading daily, keeping notebooks neat, finishing tasks on time — that make the move to middle school easier.
Children are assessed through class work, projects, activities and periodic tests in line with CBSE practice. The aim is to show what a child understands and what needs more practice, not simply to rank.
From Class III, working families can choose day boarding from 3:00 to 6:00 PM, which includes lunch, supervised prep with the school’s educators, coached sport and evening snacks.
Full boarding for Classes III to X is offered in separate residences for boys and girls, with resident staff, supervised study and vegetarian meals — an option many families from Darjeeling, Sikkim, Bihar and the Dooars consider.
Parents follow progress through the school’s parent portal, reached from the Parent Login button on this website, and at parent-teacher meetings. If your child finds a subject difficult or seems unsettled, speak to the class teacher early.
At home
New students join Classes III to V subject to available seats, usually at about eight to ten years of age. The latest marksheet and a transfer certificate are required, and an age-appropriate interaction helps teachers with class placement. If your child is moving from another board, share the subjects studied so far.

By Class V, children are confident readers, careful thinkers and willing participants. They move to the Middle Section for Classes VI to VIII, where learning becomes more application-oriented and students take on greater responsibility for their own study.
