HISTORYHISTORY

Our school was built in 1886 as a school for girls. The winter holidays lasted 4 months, because there was not enough coal. The girls learned German in our school.

Františka Plamínková was a writer, a teacher and an important Czech feminist. She was born in Kostelsko in 1875. After the graduation in 1895 she taught in Prague at our school. In 1925 she was elected a senator. In our parliament she fought for woman’s rights and she pushed through a law that enabled woman teachers to marry and have children. In 1942 she was arrested and executed by the Nazis.

In our school everyone learns English and one more facultative language. It´s German or French. We started with the second foreign language in the sixth class.

We have a special classroom for German. We have lots of posters with grammar in it and a map of Germany. Our teacher's name is Lenka Šimánková. We sometimes revise grammar on computers. Then we always write a test.

GERMAN

FRENCH

We often revise the grammar and vocabulary and then we write tests. We get a sheet of paper with pictures and we write the words next to the pictures. Sometimes teaches a trainee teacher. Our teacher also organizes a competition called the Olympiad. Children write some tests and they speak French. They can get some prizes and they can go forward to the next round.

This is our French classroom. There are two rows of tables, a drawing of the Eiffel Tower at the back on the wall and vocabulary. Our French teacher is Mrs. Šulcová. Children learn it from 6. class. Sometimes children watch French films or write some French tests on the computer. Sometimes we go to the French library .

Our class

We are in classroom 9.B. There are 8 boys and 16 girls in the class. In the classroom you can see some chairs and desks, a blackboard, three big windows, a notice board, a wardrobe, some boxes, flowers and a computer. Everyone owns two boxes. We can put books and exercise books into the box in the classroom and clothes and shoes into the box in the corridor. I think it is great, because in almost all other schools pupils do not have any box and they put heir clothes off in a dressing room. Lessons start at 8 o´clock and finish at half past one.
