BARTON children who spent the year learning ancient Greek and Latin have put on two ancient world plays.
Bayards Hill Primary School worked with Oxford educational charity The Iris Project. To mark the end of the project’s first year, Year Six pupils staged Aristophanes’ plays The Frogs and The Birds, which date back 2,500 years.
Iris Project founder Dr Lorna Robinson said: “The plays have universal themes.”
As well Latin and Ancient Greek in Bayards Hill, the project introduced ancient theatre to Waynflete Road primary and taught Latin at East Oxford Primary, West Oxford Primary, St Thomas More Primary in Kidlington and Pegasus Primary in Blackbird Leys.
