Extending the Day

 ART CLUB

Today was the first Art club of the new term and students created a photo-montage of Windsor castle with the flag at half mast. Next week we will paint the sky and some students are keen to create a beautiful rainbow in the background.

"Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!"

GCSE Latin students spent another night at the theatre this week to watch the Globe Theatre production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
 
A thrilling and engaging performance recounting the fall of Julius Caesar at the height of his popularity as leader of Rome. The politics was intriguing, the performance of the actors formidable (particularly impressive switching between multiple roles), but I think it was the betrayal of Caesar and the fake blood spurting across the stage that students will remember most!
The study of Classical civilisation, history and literature is an excellent lens through which to consider modern life, and students are encouraged to consider parallels and developments between the past and the present.
