Amazing turnout yesterday to our special KS3 quiz session. Wonderful to see so many of our younger students engaging with the classical world.
A fascinating and informative talk on the development of the alphabet from its earliest origins from Rory this lunchtime.
Best family tree ever! Thank you to Charlie for an illuminating talk at this week's Classics Society.
A turn out of almost 30 for our first Classics Society meeting of the year. Great to hear from sixth form leaders about their interests in the ancient world - and a kahoot always goes down well! 12.50 in CLA2 on Wednesdays!
AMAZING new frescos at Pompeii! And the glorious @pompei79 telling us all about them! And ROMAN STRING! bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
Sophie in Year 12 surpassed the brief of "represent the shield of Achilles artistically" when she made it edible! YUM!!! (Can I have more homework submitted in the form of cookies, please?)
Started the day assisting three KS3 students in rescuing a frog (maybe a toad?). The procession to the pond was an excellent opportunity to introduce them to the croaking chorus! Brekekekex koax koax! A very wholesome start to the day!
Congratulations to Leo, Jakov, Daniel and Arda who won bronze medals at the Latin and Greek Reading Competition at @wschool this week. Laurel wreaths all round - we're very proud of you!
Here at @bloomstheatre with our lovely GCSE & A Level Hellenists to watch @GrandLat Bacchae after a super trip to the @britishmuseum to look for depictions of Dionysus. It's the interval, Pentheus has gone to dress up as a woman to spy on the Bacchae.Surely nothing will go wrong?
This is so exciting! Imagine what the classicists of tomorrow will have to study!
Ten months ago, we launched the Vesuvius Challenge to solve the ancient problem of the Herculaneum Papyri, a library of scrolls that were flash-fried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Today we are overjoyed to announce that our crazy project has succeeded. After 2000…
The final meeting of Classics Society in 2023 saw the coronation of a Saturnalia Queen (io Sophie!), the judging of the meme competition and a "xi" writing contest with a surprise late entry from Mr. Chart-Boyles!
A Level Latinists, over to you!
"He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died" really sounds like an English to Latin exercise to test you on your knowledge of temporal clauses
Great turn out for Manas' talk on the First Punic War at Classics Society today. It's lovely to see the younger students getting involved and presenting so confidently.
Interested in continuing your studies of Latin and Greek to A Level? Or fancy something new and want to find out about Classical Civilisation? Make sure you stop by the Classics Department this evening at our 6th Form open evening! @ColchesterRGS
This personalised, signed copy of @EmilyRCWilson's translation of The Iliad is now available to borrow from the Classics Department. Please see Miss A if you are interested. Priority will be given to Classical Civilisation and Greek students.
Great first talk from Sophie in Year 12 in Classics Society today on the role of the Vestal Virgins. Would you have wanted to be one??
Excellent turn out for the first Classics Society meeting of the year. Must be down to the excellent efforts from our society presidents at Monday's freshers fayre!
