SETTLING IN EARLY YEARS  

Early Years getting settled into the new school year with fun painting activities and becoming little MasterChefs. – Jayne Lucas 

 

START OF TERM ACTIVITIES 

“Year 5 went to pick up free tree seedlings from the National Forest Association, not far from the school. We talked about trees, why a tree is a symbol of our school, why are they important. Pupils found out more about global warming, cleaning the air, how trees become the habitats of many birds and insects and we also realised how fragile they can be as seedlings. We planted two trees, not far from the school.” – Paulina Krok 

 

EUROPEAN LANGUAGES DAY 

Having such a variety of languages in our school is one of our greatest strengths and, as language helps to define who we are, we wanted to promote the importance of communication and identity. 

A few fun activities showing the importance of interaction between people, and reflecting on the diversity of languages in our school. – Nacho Barrajón 

 

KEY STAGE 3 KRAKOW TRIP 

Key Stage 3 went on a looooooong walk around Kraków in induction week. The main theme was “Scary Stories from Old Kraków” – so that is why some pupils seem to be tortured. – Zuzanna Iwańska 

 

KEY STAGE 4 AND 5 PODGÓRZE DISTRICT TRIP 

As part of ice-breaking and getting to know each other during the first week of the new school year, on 4th September pupils from Year 10 to Year 13 participated in a tour to Podgorze District. Starting from Krak’s Mound step by step, in chronological order, they analysed the fascinating history of Podgórze, from prehistoric times up to the modern era. During the tour, groups of pupils shared stories with each other about the most interesting monuments such as: Main Market Square of the city of Podgorze, The Egle Pharmacy or Schindler’s Factory. After 3 hours of walking, pupils spent wonderful time playing in Laser Park. – Anna Barnaś
