Our school began in 1957 as a secondary school. Now it is gymnasium. Last year our gymnasium was 10. Our school works in two shifts. We start school at 1:30 and we come home at 8 oÕclock in the evening. We have 6 or 7 lessons every day. We donÕt go to school on Saturday and Sunday. But on Saturday we have our Psychology Club and Puppet Theater Club. We like our Puppet Theatre very much and we prepare interesting puppet plays for our parents. We study Maths (itÕs our main subject and we like it very much), Ukrainian language and literature, Russian language and literature, English, Geography, Biology, History, Computer Sciences, Music, Art, Handicraft. P. E. We have different teachers for different subjects. We have Maths 5 times a week, English - 3 times a week, and Computer sciences only once a week. Our lessons last 45 minutes. And we have short breaks for 10 or 20 minutes. We can go to our school cafeteria after the second lesson. We can eat salads, cakes, milk or tea, juice, vegetables or we can have the first and the second course. For the first course we usually take soup and for the second course potato with meat or fish and salad. The after school activities (for us they are before school activities, because we have them before lessons) are chorus, Dance Club, Sport Club (volleyball and basketball), Drama Club, Psychology Club and Puppet Theatre Club. There are many good traditions in our school. Some of them are the holiday of the First Bell (The First of September), the TeacherÕs Day, the Holiday of the Last Bell (the last day of the school year). We also have very interesting parties and traditions in our class. We have the weeks of different subjects. Recently weÕve had Maths week and we had many different Maths competitions. We liked them very much and pupils from our class were the winners. We usually have English week in February and we have English competitions. We also had many different trips and excursions. Around the town there are many archeological monuments dating back to the Bronze Age, one of the most interesting of which is called the Stone Grave, and is located 18 kilometers outside the town. Last year we visited The Stone Grave. It was a very interesting excursion and we learned a lot about the history of our region. We like different excursions very much. At the end of the school year we are going to visit the Crimea. Form 7V |
