@ProfArleneHH @PublicAristotle @durham_uni @Durham_Classics @SpeakingCitz @Tom_F_Wright @ahrcpress @LeverhulmeTrust @EngMediaCentre @voice21oracy @theESU This looks like a fantastic event, Arlene, drawing together so many different strands of education. Ancient and modern!

Having fun using Canva to create scenes from a text. Here is Ovid’s ‘locus amoenus’ from the Pyramus and Thisbe story. Great way to help learners visualise and remember the features. #Classics #digitalclassics

[Dr Mary O'Reilly @MB_OReilly]

@MisterConnor1 No problem.

[Dr Mary O'Reilly @MB_OReilly]

@MisterConnor1 I would probably put ‘locus est omnibus’ at the start. You don’t need ‘pro’. 👍

[Dr Mary O'Reilly @MB_OReilly]

Love this ‘Spot the Difference’ in the ‘Cholmondeley Ladies’ @tatebritain.

[Dr Mary O'Reilly @MB_OReilly]

Spent a very enjoyable afternoon yesterday at the @SpeakingCitz event. Learned so much both from speakers and from interesting chats. Thanks to @ProfArleneHH and Tom Wright for the invitation.

[Dr Mary O'Reilly @MB_OReilly]

@scottishcilt @BCScotland Perfect. Thanks. 👍

[Dr Mary O'Reilly @MB_OReilly]

@StAmbHistory I’m in Coatbridge on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I’m happy to drop them at St Ambrose if that would help?

[Dr Mary O'Reilly @MB_OReilly]

Having a new term clear out and have two boxes of various Classics books for anyone interested in picking them up from Hamilton. Might be useful for some BGE Classics or Advanced Higher dissertations.

[Dr Mary O'Reilly @MB_OReilly]

@StAmbHistory Yes, it’s still available so that’s no problem.

[Dr Mary O'Reilly @MB_OReilly]

@StAmbHistory Ooh. Great ideas. I love the Oreo one! Thanks for the suggestions.

[Dr Mary O'Reilly @MB_OReilly]

Does anyone have any suggestions for activities for a lunchtime Classics club? Secondary school level.

[Dr Mary O'Reilly @MB_OReilly]

Ready to start work on Virgil’s Aeneid with the new Higher Latin class with revamped resources at the ready.

[Dr Mary O'Reilly @MB_OReilly]

@MrBaker79AD Thanks, Lee. If no one is interested in them for this term/ year, that would be great. 👍

[Dr Mary O'Reilly @MB_OReilly]

Delighted to be able to share that I’ve been awarded an Early Career Fellowship: Inclusion, Participation and Engagement @SASNews. Excited to embark on this new venture researching and sharing ideas on representations of listening in the Classical world. #Classics

Delighted to have this article published today on the 'Better Arguments' project I've been working on with Glasgow University. Bringing Cicero into more Scottish classrooms!

Great to see this installed in the concert hall, Gerard. It looks amazing. What a beauty.
