Learning Classics is a bit like putting on a magic pair of 3-D glasses. Once you start delving into the language and the culture, you'll start to see it all around you. This blog is a record of the club's journey through the worlds and language of ancient Rome and Greece... and through modern times, too, searching for the influence of classics all around us. You'll also be able to find vocab, home tasks, links and generally enlightening info here, too.

Lesson 24 - Can we really call this a lesson?!

Perhaps better described as a fun end to this half term, this 'lesson' we all made mosaics. Having said that, we did learn that:
  • the stuff in between tiles is called grout
  • mosaic tiles ('tesserae') do not taste nice, despite their startling similarity to sweets
  • it's best to duck when cutting tesserae
  • Max is a perfectionist
  • Classics Club should at no point enter the X-Factor
Here's some of the amazing artwork...

...for Jamellia
...for Nailaa












The stunning results of Max's perfectionism
