Annual Exams. are going to start

The annual examination is going to start very soon in the school. We don't emphasize only on getting good marks in the exams. But it is a test to examine how kids have learned and it is also test for the school to evaluate our pedagogic approaches. School thanks all friends and supporters for their valuable contribution and invites all for stronger ties in the coming years.

GOOD NEWS FOR OUR SCHOOL

This week Amader Pathshala got additional donations from different people who attended the weeding reception of our friends. From the donations Amader Pathshala has bought a desktop PC and a photocopy machine which includes a printer and scanner in-build. This will help the school to work more smoothly. Furthermore it will help the students in learning how to use a computer since we have now 2 computer in the school.
The the new school uniforms arrived already and the kids love the colorful new dresses. It also has created social acceptance and interest among people about the school. The school would like to invite all friends and interested people to visit the place with all the new developments and we would be happy to get more support for the school to achieve our goal.

KIDS ARE HAVING FUN AND LEARNING WITH THE INTERNET

Amader Pathshala is now equipped with laboratory facilities. We bought a human skeleton, magnets, a microscope, a magnifying glass, a hydrometer, a compass and some chemicals. Since we have a computer and internet connection at school now, the kids could see the planetary system in the internet today. They really enjoyed it very much and learned a lot.
We will introduce computer classes very soon in our regular curriculum. But first we need to organize at least 2 more computers, so that all classrooms are permanently equipped with a computer.

AMADER PATHSHALA GETS SUPPORT FROM ABROAD

Two of our school's friends just arranged a bigger donation from abroad, which will enable us to considerably improve the overall equipment of Amader Pathshala.

• Within the next weeks we will install an Instant Power Supply (IPS) to still have electricity in the classrooms during the daily power cuts. This will have a lasting effect on the learning conditions of the students since the fans in the classrooms will still run during power cuts
• For the music classes as well as for cultural activities we can now afford to buy some urgently needed music instruments
• To make the lessons more interesting we furthermore will provide a mobile laboratory for the students stored in a box
  
• The donation will also allow us, together with a small financial contribution from the student's parents, to organize school uniforms for all children in our school
• The longtime neglected school library will get now a stable book shelf, filled with new books for the students

Even further and regular donations for our daily costs are still needed, this kind of one-time donations are also very much needed and welcome to fulfill our promise, which is to provide quality education in a learning friendly environment to the underprivileged children of our school.

Theatre show in Amader Pathshala

The newly formed theatre group Panchali had a show at amader pathshala on 2nd August. This play is by famous Bengali writer Sukumar Roy where entrance of a crow in king's place creates a lot of difficulties. The students enjoyed the show very much. After the show there was a cricket tournament between school team, theatre team, and spectators team. The theatre team and school team reached the final. In the final school team defeated the visiting team with a huge margin and became champion. Pictures will be added soon to this post!

Students learn how to post in their internet blog

Today's classes 3, 4 and 5 learned how to make a post on their school's blog. Teachers are also present. And our German intern Esther helped them get to know how it works. We hope the students will know how to make their own blogs within a few days.

Colourful Results!

Our school proudly presents its materialized prize from the football tournament! With the prize money (25,000 Tk) our school now has natural sunlight shining into our once dark classroom, saving electricity costs is as easy as that, with windows! But there’s more…our school’s wall has transformed into a welcoming entrance, through colourful paintings, which also makes it fun to look at. And because we just can’t get enough of that fun, we’ve planned on painting the classroom walls as well. So we’d like to thank the other teams for playing with us, making all this possible, and hope we can meet up and play again.




Our new calssroom! New windows and walls that can't wait to be painted.

Secound half, with our school's name and logo, of course!




Also our school yard appears with new life.

The Last School Day

Like the students in many countries, also the students of Amader Pathshala enjoy their last school day before the summer vacations start.


At their last day at school they had to do the exam in drawing, obviously a lot of fun for them.

After their vacations will be over, they will find new benches and tables for a more comfortable learning environment in their school

Stichworks of Students Parents/Mothers

The beautiful Stichworks you can see below, were prepared by the parents/mothers of the Students of our School. They are 100% handmade and to produce one picture will need round about one month. The material is silk and the motives are showing the daily life of people, especially women in Bangladesh. The parents/mothers are willing to produce more of these pictures in future to support the school of their children.

In the coming weeks we will offer a catalogue on this blog with different motive/pictures. The prices of the stichworks will depend on the size and quality. In general the prices will be between 1500 and 3000 Taka (15-30€). If requested we can also frame them, what will increase the price around 200-300 Taka (100 taka are around 1 €)
