Hello from Russia! OUR SCHOOL This project is made for our American friends. We would like to tell you a little about our school in Kurganinsk.
This is our school building.
Our school is situated in the center of our town. To the left of the school there is a sports stadium and a church. On the right there is a market and many shops. It is the oldest of all the towns schools: it was 100 years old in 2012.Our school is named in honor of V. Serov, a hero of the Soviet Union, his bust is situated in the center of school grounds. In our country schools are given numbers, our school is School Number 1.
We have more than 1000 students. There are the primary grades from the 1 st to 4 th classes(6-11 years old), secondary grades from the 5 th to 9 th classes(12-16 years old) and the high grades from the 10 th to 11 th classes(17-18 years old). After the 9th class students can stay in the school to continue their education or leave and go to college. Pupils study maths, Russian, biology, geography, technology, history of Russia, physics and so on. We also love to do sports.
Earlier students studied English and German as a foreign language. But now all school studies only English. As well as classrooms we also have a canteen, a gym, a dressing room, a library and, behind the school, a sports ground.
Here are some photographs. This is our timetable.

Like most of the world New Year in Russia is celebrated on the night of 31st December. We celebrate Christmas on the 6 th January: in school we set up and dressed a Christmas tree and pupils produced wonderful decorations.
Now we want to say a few words about our class. We are in the 8 th form and there are 30 students in our class. Everyone is very friendly and we travel together around the Krasnodar region. Were not boring to be with!
We hope that we have given you some idea about our school! Bye from Russia! All the best!
