Welcome

History consists of a series of accumulated imaginative inventions. – Voltaire

LISTORIA: European youngsters explore their common past in stories and poetry.  

Folk in reality

Probably it was not an accident that class 5.b went to a skanzen (open air folk museum) for the class trip. Suddenly they were dropped back into the rural past and they experienced the traditional man and woman work. They could see the circumstances of how people used to live in a village house, of course with no electricity, and they did the duties what were very normal 100-150 years ago. The girls did the housekeeping and produced butter while the boys cared about the animals. At the end of the day they ate the delicious slices of bread and butter with some chopped onion.

Finishing the visit we travelled by horse car around the skanzen.

We are qualified

Dear all,
Yesterday our project received the national quality label from the Hungarian NSS.
It’s  good news, isn’t it?

Never ending (Li)stori(a) in Fót

In Fót the 5.b  keep going on the Listoria project. Two weeks ago the class read a beautiful tale about the dutch symbols: the tulip, the mob-cap and the wooden shoes. The pupils got a textunderstanding worksheet from me and despite that they still like the tale very much. (Eventually they told me that.)  And now they’ve been illustrating the tale getting instructions from the art teacher.  I hope next weekend I can upload the ready masterpieces.

News from Tampere – Finland

Hi everyone! We’ve seen the Hungarian and Belgian students have been working on a poem and on folk tales already. Interesting drawings and an original video clip! In Tampere we’ll start our work on the folk tales in February when the class is back to school after a period of work. By the end of February you should be able to see our contribution: a modern version of a Flemish story among others. So, we’ll be back!

Hi folks!

The Listoria bacteria is spreading over Europe. We welcome the pupils of Tampere College in Finland. Read the school information! We guess that sooner or later another school in Europe will be infected.

Some of us are very busy nowadays… reading (and telling!) folk stories. Stories that bring back the world of ages ago. Some of these stories have travelled around Europe already. Some of the folk stories will be spread soon together with the Listoria bacteria. Read all about it very soon.

In Flanders fields the poppies grow…

War is constantly present is history, unfortunately. In the first World War millions of Europeans were involved in the Great War.

John McCrae wrote his immortal poem about it. The pupils of Németh Kálmán learned about this historical period in class and made nice drawings. Students of the Immaculata Instituut visited Flanders Fields and learned about the history and the beautiful poem too.
