Building with Bricks

Brick Patterns for Jagriti School

This is the true story of Jagriti School in Murshidabad (West Bengal). When its building was being made, there was a plan to make brick patterns on the floor and walls. Jamaal, Kaalu and Piyaar were the masons for the brick work. They wanted to get new ideas for the school building. So they took their other friends to see the old tomb of Murshid Kuli Khan. (See photos.)

This building has a big floor with about two thousand beautiful brick patterns. These were made by masons long back – about three hundred years ago.

Look how the bricks are arranged in these five floor patterns.

Which floor pattern do you like the most? _____________

Have you seen such patterns anywhere?

The masons came back excited. Jamaal said—Ah! In those days they had made so many interesting brick patterns. We had forgotten these! Let us make some nice designs on the floor of this school.

Each mason made a different brick pattern. The school is proud to have such a beautiful building! Children play and sing on it and also make new patterns themselves.
