Class 2 Evs - WEST-BENGAL

Animals

The Class 2 EVS chapter on 'Animals' introduced by the West Bengal Board of Primary Education (WBBSE) helps young learners discover the wonderful world of animals around us. Students learn to identify different types of animals based on where they live, such as land, water, and trees. The chapter teaches children about domestic and wild animals, what animals eat, and how they move. It also instills an early sense of kindness, empathy, and responsibility towards taking care of pets and street animals, which is a very important topic frequently tested in board assessments.
