Classics morning at Copthill

XXI.VI.XVIII

Y6 Classics morning

Year 6 had a fabulous morning with the Latin pupils from SHS completing lots of different classics activities together. We started the morning with a Harry Potter based Latin challenge, using Latin roots to understand the effects of spells and learn more about the characters’ names. Following this, Y6 were set to work with Roman Numerals, watching Mr Thomas chisel wood to demonstrate why numerals were the shapes they were and then completing different problem solving tasks. Later in the morning, we studied the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur, evaluated Greek pottery and how the Ancient Greeks used these to tell stories before creating our very own versions. We finished the morning in the Classics garden in the (almost Rome-like) sunshine. Bene!
