Year 8

The Year 8 Classics curriculum follows a historical view of Roman life, studying the ancient Roman civilisations, Roman philosophy, mythology, language and daily life. It includes a mixture of activities including stories, historical accounts, drawing and acting. At the end of Year 8 pupils have an introduction to the Latin language with simple exercises. They are also given letters asking them if they wish to continue with Latin in Year 9, and there is a Latin lesson once a week. The table below shows the topics studied.
