The theme of our third literary walk was Radnoti Miklos: one of the most prominent poets of the Hungarian Holocaust. We began at the Radnoti statue, fabricated based on a picture of Radnoti in Paris, depicting the young poet as a happy and free individual. We visited the apartment where he was born (Kadar utca 8), the place where he spent his childhood in Falk Miksa utca, then his home he shared with his aunts after his parents’ early deaths.
Finally, we found the apartment where he lived with his wife Gyarmati Fanni, (Pozsonyi ut 1) which was also the place he left for his last forced labour service. His wife never saw him again, as he was shot at the young age of 35 by the Hungarian Nazis. We concluded our walk at the second Radnoti statue of Budapest, which portrays him during his time at the concentration camp.

Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
