What a lovely note - although it does make me wonder what on earth I’ve been telling them 🤣

What a super gift from Year 11 Latin to whom I’ve been teaching the City of Rome GCSE topic - a home-made cookie on which they had iced a remarkably accurate depiction of the Circus Maximus!

Accidentally started watching Henry V over breakfast and now can’t tear ourselves away. Rockpools beckon but god the acting in this film is superb.

Just wrote 800 words fuelled by the gorgeous coffee and croissants of Café Meraki in Woolacombe. 10/10 would come again!

Year 10 made scratch-art Linear B tablets!

Very mixed feelings about this production.

Thanks to all the wonderful speakers (Prof Patrick Finglass, Dr Rosie Wyles, Prof Sharon Marshall and Prof Thomas Harrison) and attendees at our online Classics Study Day yesterday. It was a fascinating and inspiring day much enjoyed and appreciated by all.

I always find those Greek vases with Not Enough Horse very funny, like the Sophilos dinos, or this one I saw for the first time in the British Museum last week, showing Chiron. Surely that chiton would have got in the way?!

So delighted to see that this shelf label at the British Museum has been corrected after SO many years of saying that he’s playing a kithara!

I’m OK with that …

Followed up my Saturnalia assembly this morning with a lovely Year 8 lesson colouring in these cards by @lejenksbrown.bsky.social which I purchased as a download from Etsy!

Beautiful Greek vase myth retellings by Year 9 yesterday at Redmaids’ Ancient Women Day. My favourite is the one that shows Clytemnestra and Cassandra teaming up to slay Agamemnon together!

Ancient Women Day here at Redmaids’ High and Year 9 have written their own Heroides…
