Odyssey’s ship departured in early October. And how did it start?
Our school won a support of Comenius School-Partnership, witch MOSTart’NGO designed assigned by Raffay Béla. The aim of the project is, that our pupils with Romanian, Polish and Turkish students have to work up Odyssey’s journey  in several ways e.g.: graphical illustrations, digital storytelling, fireworks,  literary-philosophical way in two years time.
Interpretations of the fine art are being performed by Piroska Fodor in cooperation with the pupils. For the philosophical Interpretation Zsuzsanna Podruzsik is responsible. During this project the children will have a chance to gain experience abroad and they can used it in their farther learning process. Our work and news can be seen on our bulletin board, on exhibitions or on our website with the help of Attila Bede. The coordinator is Monika Kurucz.
To let Odyssey’s ship on its way, we keep every day contact with headmasters and the coordinators, and we had an international meeting in October in Szigetbecse.
After the conditions of our work had been created we made our activity plan. We made the stay of our guests joyful with various programmes. They could not only have a look at our school and lessons, but they could visit some famous places in Hungary. The time spent with our foreign colleges was full of experience and it was useful at the same time.
Our colleges’ feedbacks were positive, so I can say that we are going to do our task enthusiastically and we are looking forward to seeing each other as soon as possible.

It is beautiful…
Our guest from the Romanian, Polish and Turkish school arrived in Szigetbecse at the end of October. They could visit the buildings, sights and the past of Ráckeve and Szigetbese and we travelled to our capital city on a Tuesday afternoon.
Travelling by public transport was a big fun. We went to the Buda castle, Matthias-church, Fishermen’s Bastille and we travelled by funicular railway. We finished the day with a boat trip on the river Danube, where we could listen to Budapest’s history and the background stories of the sights. Our guests had been charmed by the breeze of the Danube and the lights of the palace and bridges.
On the next morning we travelled by bus to Szentendre, and we played among the monuments of the Skanzen. The Hungarian history would have changed, if the battle of Mohács had happened in the same way.
The streets of Szentendre, the beach of the Danube, the Margit Kovács Museum, and the Sweets Museum contributed to get a lot of beautiful memories.
At sunset we started to sing. We taught them “It is beautiful” – witch is a Hungarian song – and they wrote it with phonetic letters. Then the Romanian and Turkish team sang.
I hope, we, our school, and country gave a good impression.
