What each week card shows

Enquiry question

The central question driving the week's three lessons. Families return to this question throughout the week until the child can answer it confidently.

Verse of the week

The śloka the child memorises that week, with its English translation. Each verse is studied word by word over five days.

Lesson learning objectives

The key concepts each lesson is designed to land. Three lessons per week; each has its own set of objectives.

Sanskrit vocabulary

The Sanskrit terms introduced that week – the 'code' and its English meaning. Vocabulary accumulates across the year.
