Our School

Our school is in Ptolemaida at Nosokomeiou Street. It is the 10th Primary School of Ptolemaida, but we share the same building with the 4th Primary School. The yard is big and nice. At the break, children buy food from the canteen. Some children go to the football court and play football, sometimes with plastic bottles. At the hour of gymnastics, classes of the 4th and 10th Primary school go to the gym to play games or to train. In the computer room there is a headlight and many computers. The library is next to the main entrance and near the recycling bucket of batteries. There are a lot of books and stories, board games and dictionaries. The headmaster’s office of the 10th school is between the 3rd and the 6th grade. The fifth grade (our class) is opposite the main entrance. Our school is very big; it has got 18 classes and 24 teachers.
