"This past year, as a Hungarian class we have had the rare opportunity to take a look into the every-day life of the poets, authors, and artists who we had learned about during class. The subject of our latest ‘literary walk’ was the phenomenal Hungarian poet, Attila József. First we visited the museum dedicated to his life, located in the building-complex at Gát u. 3, where the poet was born in 1905. After inspecting the hand-written work of the poet and listening to anecdotes from his life, we visited an assortment of the places where the poet had grown up, composed, and had made significant memories. While at these locations, we gained deeper insight into the poet’s life by reading and discussing extracts from both historians and his family and friends. We concluded our trip at his commemorating statue next to the Parliament, sitting on steps overlooking the river, while listening to a recitation of his famous poem, ‘ ‘At the Danube’. As both a group and team, we continue to thoroughly enjoy and look forward to the monthly Hungarian trips and the opportunity to accurately imagine the pivotal moments we study about." (Juli Kutas)

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

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.
