Pupils at Yarlet School won prizes in a national Latin competition based on two myths – Romulus and Remus, and Echo and Narcissus.
Yarlet pupils can enjoy learning Latin from Form 5 onwards, and this year, for the first time, entered the Minimus Mythology competition. All pupils were eligible to enter the national and international competition, using Barbara Bell (MBE)’s Minimus books.
Seven pupils won runner-up prizes for their artwork with clay sculptures, collages and a hand puppet – well done to Edward Cartwright, Sam Archer, Jessica Cartmail, Grace Darby, Fraser Lloyd, Henar Garcia and Joseph Shaw. And two pupils won individual prizes in the creative writing category: Abigael Pointon for her beautifully constructed play, and Joseph Shaw for his witty diary, written from the point of view of the goddess Hera.
Needless to say, the pupils are already keen to enter next year’s contest!
