#classicstwitter We're choosing between Suburani and CLC 5th ed to use with Year 8 and 9 next year (Year 7 do Stages 1-2 of CLC 5th ed, and we switch to Latin to GCSE in Year 10). Would be really interested to hear people's experiences with either book! Pros? Cons?

Our first question is for teachers (broadly defined). Have you ever made an adjustment for a #Neurodivergent student? If yes, what was the nature of this adjustment & how well did it work? Please share widely & reply with the # tag #NeurodivergentExperiences.

AMOR EST AMOR : Love is Love (in #Latin) 🌈

I've listened to Pompeii by Bastille hundreds of times. But today was the 1st time I watched the music video with subtitles on.

And they're not singing 'eh eh oh', they're singing 'eheu' which is Latin for 'oh no' because it's about Pompeii so there's Latin IN THE SONG OHMYDAYS

@alexvtunzelmann @seatsixtyone I once travelled from London to Tokyo without flying. Took 2 months and was the most glorious overland/sea trip. Also used @seatsixtyone extensively to plan it!

@MissAWaters1 Love it and love the name. From the Greek for ‘stone’ and ‘blood of the gods’ which is just such a perfect description for it!

[WGGS Classics @WGGS_Classics]

@LEJenksBrown @AsterionHub These are so great! Good luck

Can you help?

We’re looking to make contact with Classics people who went on to jobs and careers outside academia, and employers who have hired people with a Classics background. If that’s you, or someone you know, please say hi.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Please RT

As a tribute to Ms Bateson, we would like to install a bench at the school dedicated to her memory. We are also collecting money for Kidney Research in her name. To make a donation please click here: https://t.co/5c9rJNVubG

@LEJenksBrown Following with interest. We’re thinking of introducing it next year. Would you not recommend it?

@Brentwood_Clscs Also interesting that shared letters don’t necessarily have the same sound…

@Brentwood_Clscs So cool

Boris Johnson is a wretched example of a Classicist. https://t.co/kmRWM0nwLE
