We visited the Benedict Abbey in Pannonhalma. Medieval Christian Literature is a part of the year 10 curriculum, so we went to the first Hungarian monastery, and learned about the monks’ lives. In the huge library, we were astonished by the beauty of hand-written and illustrated books as well as an abundance of codexes. As we also learned about the beginnings of Hungarian literature, we viewed the first Latin text containing Hungarian words and the foundation letter of the Tihany Benedict Abbey written in 1055. In Pannonhalma, the monks don’t only teach, but they craft various products out of organic herbs as well as chocolates, so we also tried those.

This week in English, Year 8 shared their completed magazines in a collaborative press event. There was a lovely buzz in the classrooms, and we were very impressed with both the quality of the work produced and the professionalism with which they pitched their final products to each other and the Year 12 Muse students who came along as well.
