Vix ulla tam iniqua pax, quin bello vel aequissimo sit potior - There is scarcely any peace so unjust that it is not better than even the fairest war. #Erasmus

We had the privilege of reading the simple Latin of the Bayeux Tapestry with a group of #WKGSY8 Latin students today at @BayeuxMuseum @BayeuxOfficiel. We spoke about Latin's use in the medieval period and how it was used as a lingua franca for both conqueror and the conquered.

The end of another day in the Latin department, and looking forward to the next.

Some more of our exact copies of genuine Pompeian graffiti now adorning the #B7 Latin base. @WestKirbyGS

More sneaky peaks at our classroom remodel, with a variety of genuine Pompeian election graffiti, and, in the same Roman handwriting, a tribute to a very special student.

[WKGS Latin Department @WKGS_Latin]

When @WKGS_Latin heard that the classroom was getting a coat of white paint over the summer, plans for a classroom remodel got underway. Today, our first (of many) Pompeian election notices has been painted. Watch this space for the next ones!

A day late perhaps, but @WestKirbyGS #WKGSY11 #Latin students have been putting their study of #Roman love poetry to use and selecting their favourite quotations to adorn their #origami hearts.

Pat the Wolf 🐺💚 has been home with Mr Sweatman for a revamp - new stuffing, leak repaired, and new lettering and number made for his jacket. Looking at his best for the rest of the House Competitions this year. #GoPaton
