We are delighted to be offering our tenth annual Classics Summer School this August at the Iris Classics Centre at Cheney School in Oxford. It will take place on the mornings of 18th, 19th and 20th August. This year the summer school will be themed on the ancient Minoan civilisation on Crete!
The format for each day will be as follows:
9 – 10.30am – Latin (ages 7 – 9); Latin (ages 10 – 11); Greek (ages 7 – 9); Greek (ages 10 – 11)
10.30 – 11.15am – refreshments and activities
11.15 – 12.45pm – Latin (ages 7 – 9); Latin (ages 10 – 11); Greek (ages 7 – 9); Greek (ages 10 – 11)
The classes will be run by experienced teachers and will include activities as well as language learning. They will all be aimed at complete beginners. There will be themed activity stalls and refreshments between the morning classes.
If you would like your child to attend the summer school, you can book to attend by filling in this form, stating name, age, and which language class they would like to join. Attendees need to choose one language they would like to learn for the duration of the school – either Latin or Greek – as each class builds on the previous one.
In order to help cover our costs for this event, we are charging £20 per child for the summer school – please do get in touch if this cost is likely to be prohibitive.
You can pay online at http://www.irisproject.org.uk/index.php/the-iris-project/support-us or pay on the door on the first morning of the summer school. If you feel you can pay more than £20 to help cover costs, we are always grateful for any donation.
