Many thanks to the wonderful @SWclassicshub for their hard work with the Ovid Competition prize giving. Our students had a great night. Well done to them all for their stunning entries.

At least we have a picture of the lovely library display. Excellent books, would recommend.

Our Latin and Classics kids had a great time meeting @dcsandbrook today and discussing Cleopatra and Alexander the Great. It was so good that I forgot to take a picture! Such brilliant books.

Students loved painting their own mini black figure vases yesterday. Many thanks to @classarch for their brilliant pottery resources. So helpful in scaffolding the tasks.

We’re finally ready to go for Open Evening. Here’s tonight’s Latin and Classics display, featuring some of last year’s Ovid in the West Country entries.

Last week the Yr8 Latin group started their journey through the new 5th Edition @Caecilius_CLC book. They are already in love with Lucia and Barbillus. Many thanks to @StevenHuntClass for his excellent training.

Our Yr 7 Students had a fabulous time on Monday experiencing Ovid’s tales, as told by @DanielMorden3 They left feeling so inspired to start on their @SWclassicshub Ovid in the West Country entries.

We aim to recruit, train & employ the best teachers possible & over the last 3 years, 70%+ of our trainees have been employed by partnership schools, contributing well over 100 new teachers in #Gloucestershire. Our employment rate is always close to 100%. https://t.co/jhuHuswL1U

This is such a great opportunity. Even though we have already set up a Classics Club, we’ll be attending to make sure we’ve got everything covered and have the best resources to make Classics thrive at Campden.

Many thanks to the brilliant @crewsproject for their fabulous Ancient Greek writing resources. Classics Club really enjoyed the videos and resources and they’ve all managed to write their names- and in some cases all the names of everyone in their family- in Ancient Greek.

Great to see teachers and students really engaging with @Caecilius_CLC The clear vocabulary progression in the book really helps student progression.

Such a great @ClassicsCcs #Latin lesson yesterday with Y7 teaching the ‘Nominative’ and ‘Accusative’ cases 🙌🏼 I was apprehensive (as an English teacher😳) but they really ‘GOT’ it🎉 Thoroughly enjoyable all round #senseofachievement @classicsforall

#Conservation happening today as we work on the condition assessment for our corridor mosaic! We compare the condition of each tile today to high res photos so we can see changes each year - open up the photo fully to see how we have created a montage of our mosaic to work from.

[CCS Classics @ClassicsCcs]

Classics Club thoroughly enjoyed making mosaics last night. As you can see- some went Roman and some tried something a bit more modern!

Look at our lovely display of reading books inspired or based on Greek and Roman myths. Many thanks to our lovely librarian for organising this and Yr 7 for providing the wonderful decoration.
