Curriculum Plan
Key Stage Two Literacy and Latin

The lesson plans that follow are designed to support and enhance the national curriculum literacy strategies, and also to provide an enjoyable, unique and accessible introduction to Latin for large mixed-ability classes. I based them around a series of activities, which included Latin and storytelling using the wonderful myths of Ovid's Metamorphoses. The storytelling aspect is there to give some context to the Latin, promote a broader array of literacy skills and of course to give a taste of the magic that Classics has to offer.

There are ten one hour lessons for each term, and worksheets to accompany the lessons are available on the 'worksheet' link below.

BACKGROUND TO HACKNEY PROJECT

 

We believe that all children are entitled to the opportunity of learning about the languages and cultures of the ancient world, and that these subjects are wonderful tools for enhancing literacy, social awareness and analytical skills. Through a range of initiatives in UK state schools, we work to enrich the curriculum by promoting learning about the ancient world.
