School exams


For the next few days all the children  at Amar Jyoti school have exams.   An example of the English paper for Class 5  says 'Read the questions carefully and give the answer ‘Yes, I can’ or ‘No, I amn’t’
One answer to 'Can you break a ruler' was ‘Yes, I amn’t’.  

 There is a lot of work to do!

Lorna and I organised some games to keep the children amused whilst waiting for the start of the exams.  They loved having to pass the inside of a loo roll (wish I had brought some bean bags) under their legs!   Even Mek Bahadur the Year 3 Teacher, enjoyed the race which involved balancing a ladybird book on the head.  But he cheated by balancing it on his Topi.





















Sausmita is from a low caste, and she appears very needy.  Today she was delighted to receive a warm  hat donated by a previous guest at the lodge.  Thank you Linda. 




 Hats are very popular and appear to be a status symbol.   Sausmita was a worthy recipient.
