ELEMENTARY SCHOOL “CIRIL KOSMAČ” PIRAN Teo Rušnjak, Class 6a

Our school is located on a hill in Zeleni gaj (The Green Grove), east of the town centre.

The school is named after the Slovenian writer Ciril Kosmač. His novels are translated in more than 20 languages. The school was founded in 1950 and it is proud of its rich history and the accomplishments of its students and teachers. In 1993 we became the first UNESCO school in Slovenia.

The logo of our school is a blue sailing boat. The boat is shaped like a dolphin that proudly glides on the sea. It is a symbol of life, tradition and respect for the nature. On the boat there are three children working together. If we are united, we can move a mountain. The blue colour is a symbol of wisdom, peace and UNESCO. The orange colour of the flag symbolizes the energy, the Sun and the power to overcome the obstacles.

Our school is very beautiful inside Our school is very beautiful inside. There are lovely paintings on the walls.

Outside there is an atrium where we can play during the break. Almost every classroom has got its own balcony.
