As part of the Year 5 Topic on Space, Class 5 Aqua & 5 Neptune went to the Observatory - Svabhegyi Csillagvizsgalo. The children had an interactive lecture about asteroids and meteorites as well as studied meteorites up close through a microscope. They looked at the sun through solar telescopes and even experienced the trampoline solar system!
"The big telescope was really interesting because we could see the sun so clearly and it is so far away!" Panna
I thought it was amazing that we could see the sun in 3 shades of colours through the giant telescope, my favourite was the sun when it was 'purple!'" Michael
"I liked looking at how heavy I would be on different planets and in different parts of space." Dominik
My favourite was the trampoline Solar system because I could really see how planets orbit around the sun, it all made sense." Jain

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.
