HB attended 'Adventures in Latin', a workshop at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
The session began with a study of inscriptions. Focussing on certain Latin words and Roman numerals, HB learnt about a Roman cavalry officer and then searched the gallery for more inscriptions.
Next HB made a Latin inscription, taking on a Roman name and nickname.
The pupils then handled original and replica ojects, learning a little more about the Romans.
Finally they learnt Latin insults (that were inscribed on Roman sling bullets) and army drill language.
