 My School

My school is quite large. It has five floors. It consists of fourteen classrooms, some laboratories, basketball and volleyball courts, some sport facilities, a library, and toilets.

When you enter my school, you will see the basketball and volleyball court. On the first floor, you can find a library is on the left. The seventh grade is on the second floor

The ninth grade classrooms are on its left, near the park and the seventh grade classrooms are on its right, near the teacher’s room. You can find the eighth grade classrooms beside the seventh grade ones, facing the volleyball court.

There are four laboratories in my school. They are Chemistry, Physics, Language, and Biology laboratories. All of them are situated between the basketball and volleyball courts. You can find the canteen next to the Biology laboratory. At the opposite of the language laboratory, beside the ninth grade classrooms, there is a hall.

Then, the students should park their bikes in the bicycle shed, just behind the ninth grade classrooms. If they want to go to the toilet, there are some, near the bicycle shed and behind the teacher’s room.
