Jasło

Publiczna Szkoła Podstawowa nr 2 im. Marii

Konopnickiej w Jaśle




The building of our school is one of the oldest school buildings in Jasło

county; it was built in 1904. At first it was a school for girls.

During the First and the Second World War the building was occupied by

hostile armies which badly damaged the school. In 1944 German army burnt

down the building. Luckily the ceilings and the floors weren‟t totally damaged

and in March 1945 primary students could learn in four renovated classrooms.

Lessons were starting quite early (at 7.30) because other schools were using the

classrooms as well.




In school year 1962/1963 boys were admitted to our school. It became a

coeducational school, just like other schools in Jasło.




In September 1972 new buildings were ready to serve our students. It was

gym and library.




In 1976 a new wing of the school was built. Our school has gained four

new classrooms, kitchen and common room.




Nowadays there are nineteen classrooms in our school. Beside ordinary

classrooms we have got a language classroom, science classroom and two

computer classrooms.

Platykampos

1st primary school of Platykampos




The 1st primary school, our school, founded on 1885, after the

liberation of the Ottomans. At first the building was made by wood. On 1919,

the new building was made by stones in front of the village square. On 1934,

people of the village decided to build a larger school in a new position, more

suitable for the students. So, they made a modern building that exists till

today.

In 1934,when the new building was ready, the parents of the students

planted 150 pine-trees, one for each student.

In nowadays, a lot of those pine- trees have been destroyed. In spite of

the damage, in the school yard, there is a small grove of pine-trees in

which many kinds of birds live. For example there are storks, herons, etc.




There are 103 pupils who are study in our school. They are separated, in

accordance with their age, into six classes.

There are 11 teachers who are teach in our school, including those two who

teach at the afternoon school.




In our school‟s curriculum there are some extra activities, like projects

about environment, culture, European dimension, etc.

Martinlongo

Escola Básica Integrada de Martinlongo




In the school year 2010/2011 our school became part of the schools‟

assembly of Alcoutim‟s Municipality.

This assembly integrates two schools, one located in Martim Longo and

the other in Alcoutim.

Our class belongs to the school of Martim Longo.




Martinlongo’s school

Martinlongo‟s school is located in a very small town called Martim

Longo. It has about 800 inhabitants and belongs to the municipality of

Alcoutim, characterized by its weak economical development, since it has no

industry and most of its population either works in public services or in

agriculture.

In Martim Longo one can‟t purchase newspapers or magazines, because

there isn‟t a newsagent's. The only shops you can find here are small traditional

groceries. Martim Longo has neither a theatre nor a cinema. Most kids live with

their families in small villages, most of them with no more than 10 inhabitants,

almost isolated from the rest of the „world‟. Some of these children live only

with adults or older people, without having kids to talk to and play with. The

only contact they have with youngsters and with people of different ages and

lifestyles is when they come to school.

Our school has 160 pupils aged between 6 and 16 years old. We also have

foreign students, from African countries and from recent European countries

like Moldova. Four children with special needs attend our school, too.

It has always been the purpose of Martinlongo‟s School to stand as a

meaningful resource centre. A place that promotes not only sociability, as well

as the well-being of the entire school community, trying to serve above all

students‟ interests and needs, regarding their different cultural, economic and

social backgrounds.

Our aim and purpose is also to give students the opportunity to learn and

develop themselves integrally, through a quality teaching process guided by

criteria likely to succeed.
