Well, what a brilliant week with our fantastic Summer School pupils! For the first year since 2019, we headed back into the classroom for face-to-face lessons, while keeping up with our Zoom classes in the afternoons. We loved meeting a number of new faces this year, and were delighted to welcome back a huge number of familiar faces too!
Using ‘Craft and Creativity in Ancient Rome’ as a central framework, all session had a strong focus on creative, confidence-building activities calling upon our network of facilitators to deliver sessions spanning poetry, storytelling, opera, dance, drama, Latin language and so much more.
Over five days, we explored Crafts and Creativity in Ancient Rome, travelling through Caroline Lawrence's 7 story-writing beats, the myth of Metis and the creation of the world, expression through Roman dance, all the way to writing and acting out our own philosophical questions. We were so impressed with our pupils' commitment to each class, and their confidence in moving through each different theme, participating through movement, illustration, language-learning and so much more.
Thanks to the generosity of The Classical Association, the Summer School was free for all!
