On Monday, May 13th, our Year 9 Hungarian groups embarked on an educational journey to the Hospital in the Rock. This underground hospital, operating during WWII and the 1956 Revolution, offered an immersive experience linked to their Hungarian History studies. Students were divided into doctors and soldiers teams, engaging in games and activities that brought history to life. From painting wounds to carrying stretchers, they gained a deeper understanding of the hospital's significance and the resilience of those who worked there. The visit seamlessly combined learning and fun, and also served as a team building experience.
What students learnt:
We learnt about health care during WWII and the revolution of 1956. (Nóra)
The Hospital in the Rock had a crucial role to save the people of Budapest during the wars. (Fülöp)
The caves of the Hospital in the Rock run 10 km long. (Dániel)
Originally, they designed the capacity of the hospital for 60 patients, but later it was extended to 200 patients. (Panni and Szofi)
During WWII the hospital didn't receive any water for 2 weeks, and people could use only 1 litre of water per day. (Luka)

Last week, Year 6 performed our wonderful musical production for the parents and younger children in school. It was a play called Troy Story - it was about the Greeks and Trojans who were at war and had lots of drama.
As the academic year draws to a close, our Early Years students marked the occasion in the most joyful way possible, with Splash Day, a much-loved BISB tradition that brings together sunshine, water play, and the simple delight of being a child.
