Before I came to work at Katica Tanya, I was a primary school teacher in the capital for 20 years. Every four years, we would take my leaving-year classes to Patca so we could all have one last good time together. It never failed to be a success. Katica Tanya was always the very best; it was very difficult to find anywhere better, and after a while we stopped looking altogether\u2026 As a teacher, I always looked at the programmes through a different lens to the average person. Katica Tanya is a children\u2019s paradise with a very well-structured programme. Its range of activities, which caters to every need, is grouped around four main themes: farming, crafts, preserving traditions and nature studies. Within this wide range, every class teacher or colleague organising a school trip can find the activity best suited to their particular group of children. Because every group is different; no two are the same.<\/p>\n

Programmes relating to farming:<\/h2>\n

It features what are perhaps the most popular activities amongst children from both large cities and smaller towns. They rarely get to see farm animals in real life. After spending time at Katica Farm, it becomes second nature to them to animals<\/a> and the work that goes with them. After a few days, they are welcomed as acquaintances and are seen as a bit of their own, and this reinforces a sense of responsibility towards the other creature. They can participate in animal care (feeding, watering, fertilising, health checks).
\nThey can learn how to milk a cow and marvel at the taste and texture of the warm milk straight from the udder. They can gain an insight into how a working farm operates and realise that eggs and milk don\u2019t \u201ejust appear\u201d on the shop shelves, but are the result of hard work.
\nHorse riding is also available for groups in the beautiful, sun-drenched meadow, with the assistance of our expert riders.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Programmes promoting traditional customs:<\/h2>\n

A great deal depends on teachers in this regard. As Ferenc Seb\u0151 said:
\n\u201eOur traditions can only be preserved if we live them.\u201d Katica Tanya is a great help in this regard.
\nOur most popular traditional activity is baking bread and langall\u00f3. Through their own hands-on work, the children can experience just how difficult and labour-intensive this used to be for the women of the past. From lighting the oven, through kneading the dough, right through to shaping the loaves and baking them. Every group can enjoy the well-deserved fruits of their labour \u2013 fresh, warm, crispy bread and langall\u00f3 \u2013 and perhaps they\u2019ll start to look at the piles of bread thrown away in bin bags (\u201ewe\u2019ll buy fresh bread tomorrow\u201d) in a different light.<\/p>\n

Another mainstay of our heritage programmes is the event entitled \u2018In the Footsteps of Medieval Knights\u2019. The knights of the Feh\u00e9r Holl\u00f3 medieval workshop invite visitors on a truly exhilarating journey through time at the knight\u2019s castle. The girls also enjoy trying on the knights\u2019 costumes and watching the weapon demonstrations. The historical facts, which are illustrated through live demonstrations, are more effectively etched into the children\u2019s memories.\u00a0
\nYou can have a go at archery and throwing throwing stars. These are all traditional forms of weaponry, which you can either master or at least gain some proficiency in.\u00a0
\nFun folk games are the third most popular traditional activity at Katica Farm.\u00a0
\nYoung people today can discover that it\u2019s perfectly possible to have a brilliant time under the bright blue sky without a computer, mobile phone or tablet \u2013 using nothing more than a walnut or an egg. An activity that fosters a sense of community and develops empathy, which is also enjoyed by older age groups.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Craft workshops:<\/h2>\n

Our craft workshops mainly focus on long-forgotten activities and the use of natural materials.\u00a0
\nAnyone can try their hand at making felted items from the wool of sheep stroked in the pasture. You can craft objects and gifts from clay, a natural material. How did people write with quill pens in the old days? It wasn\u2019t that easy, was it!! How can you \u201emake\u201d toys and ornaments from wood? You can make your own unique T-shirt using batik, or learn the secrets of knotting and braiding. You can make leather jewellery, work with wax, and, last but not least, create everyday items from PET in the spirit of reuse.\u00a0
\nThe list isn\u2019t exhaustive\u2026 but one thing\u2019s for sure! Everyone can push the boundaries of their own creativity and let their hidden talents take flight!<\/p>\n

Nature study programmes:<\/h2>\n

If the class is a bit lively, then let\u2019s go on a night-time hike! You\u2019re guaranteed to sleep soundly afterwards! With the help of our guide, who knows the forests of Zselic very well, you can experience what a real, light-pollution-free Zselic forest is like. You\u2019ll be able to hear the nocturnal rustling of wildlife and even collect useful plants along the way.\u00a0
\nYou can enjoy stargazing through a telescope, learn to read maps using a compass and an orienteering map, or simply discover the tree species, animal habitats and folklore of the Somogy region.\u00a0
\nWe also provide walking trails if you\u2019d like to explore the area for yourselves!<\/p>\n

Eco-awareness:<\/h2>\n

Katica Tanya is the environmental awareness<\/a> He lives his daily life in this spirit. We would like our children to grow up in this spirit too. They need to know that we have not inherited our planet, but have merely been lent it. Our two fantastic programmes aim to broaden and deepen their existing knowledge on this topic.
\nWe can guide primary school pupils towards environmentally conscious shopping through interactive games, puzzles and tips on reusing items.
\nWe introduce upper-school pupils to the world of renewable energy sources, sustainable development and the ecological footprint.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If none of these take your fancy (though I doubt it \uf04a), then just come along and let the Adventure Centre take you on a wild ride! You\u2019ll see that even without a set programme, you won\u2019t get bored with all the slides, bouncy castles, shooting galleries, go-karts (and even more extra attractions from spring 2018)!<\/p>\n

Because\u2026\u2026\u2026. THERE\u2019S ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING ON HERE! We look forward to welcoming everyone!\u00a0
