A fantastic evening at the @britishmuseum for a teachers’ view of their Legion exhibition, and insightful lecture. I can’t wait to take our GCSE and A Level students here next term! My favourite objects had to be the Roman shield and anti-cheating device 🛡️🏛️

@AlexHorne hi Alex, I’m a Classics teacher in West Sussex and we are organising a staff TM for students to watch for charity. I was wondering if you might be able to help us with something, could I send you a DM?

Today marks exactly 10 years to the day that I finished my IB exams! I’m not sure why I remember this date every year but it’s stuck (however all that knowledge I learned has not!). I don’t think anyone misses the exam stress; currently empathising with my Year 11s and 13s 🍀

I’ve spent the first week of the Easter hols cramming in as many Greek sites as possible: Athens, Corinth, Epidaurus, Mycenae and Elis (so far!) but this is probably my favourite picture yet, taken at glorious Delphi…🐈

Second placement complete ☑️ I have had the best time teaching at this unique and special school!

In this afternoon’s Year 12 Latin lesson we revised vocab by making up words- some favourites include ‘medianoctecibus’, ‘nuntiusrumpiens’, ‘gaudidoneus’ and ‘bonamicus’. The challenge is now for the students to try and use them in conversation...

I can’t wait to incorporate tea-stained clues into as many lessons as possible now...

The benefit of teaching the same course 2 years in a row is that I can actually do the things I planned to do in the summer term last year which were derailed by Covid... case in point: today’s GCSE lesson which consisted of a trial to uncover what *really* happened to Piso... 🗡

First in-person Classics Club of the term today- and one of my students brought along the 3D printed Colosseum they made in lockdown! The detail! The intricacy! The dedication! 🤯

Today is the first of #February!

The second month of the year is named after Februa – the Roman festival of purification 🌊

In this etching Februa is personified as a goddess sitting in a shell pulled by two fish representing Pisces 🐟🐟 https://t.co/flyzvTfYDz

"once covid is over" is starting to sound like "once I finish this shroud for Laertes"

Absolute gem from a student in Classics Club this afternoon: ‘The Odyssey is a wonderful book... not as good as Twilight, but a wonderful book!’ 🤷🏻‍♀️ Homer must be rolling in his grave!

My shock at part 4 being labelled ‘IIII’ has not yet dissipated in 2021 🙃

[Charlotte Payne @magistrapayne]

Bit late to the party, but... res gesta 2020 🏛 (although I can’t claim all the credit, it was a team effort!)

And with this snowy Friday my first PGCE placement at TGS comes to an end. It has been an absolute blast, but the immense sadness of leaving is somewhat sweetened by this cake my tutor group made for me... Roll on PP2!!
