Year 4 pupils @IqraPrimary are reading #TheThievesOfOstia & I am excited to be visiting today to share some #MysteriesOfAncientRome! Year 3 will be there, too! 😊 https://t.co/1eShPrgvBg #Romans #RomanMysteries #Vesuvius #Pompeii #KS2 #KS3
So happy I can finally write about this😁😁 ancient Greek potty from 5th century Athens! It will feature in my 2nd #TimeTravelDiaries book set in the time of Socrates.
In Plato’s allegory of the soul as chariot, things aren’t as simple as white horse (thumos) = good & black horse (eros) = bad. The subtlety is found in the word thumos, for which English has no equivalent. #Spirit? #DesireForHonour? #Manliness?! More here: https://t.co/GWP6RIDkbv
Having fun thinking of chapters for my 2nd #TimeTravelDiaries book set in 5th century Athens:
• Play-Doh’s Dialogues
• Socrates Café
• The Gritty City
• By the Dog
• Santa in a Tablecloth
• Good Horse Bad Horse
• Kid Plato
• Throwing Wine
Excited to share passages from the #AmarantusProject with year 8 girls at @wolvesgirlshigh today... and astonished by the excellent 'origin story' we came up with for 'Fabia Fortunata, the Snooty Beauty'. I can't wait to read some samples! 😍 (illustration by @BBFiction)
@HannahTeach @harrybakerpoet @LizPichon @afharrold @MaryAliceEvans @JenniferKillick I'd love for kids in #KS2 to read my new #TimeTravelDiaries, partly set in #LondonMithraeum & @MuseumofLondon. It is fun & exciting and gives an idea of what life in #RomanLondon would have been like! 😊 https://t.co/OqpFNzBeEV
There are so many brilliant ones, but here are some of my fave recent reads for #ReadForEmpathy #EmpathyDay
.@BSAthens I'll be in Athens next week for a couple of days (Weds 29 May & Thurs 30 May) in search of Socrates. I would LOVE to treat any of your scholars or students to coffee, lunch or even dinner in exchange for tips & info! 😃
