European Classics Competition
Dear Don,
I hope you are well and haven't had too much snow.
Here are three links which might interest you - on the spur of the moment I decided to go to Italy with a friend to the Italian section of the CICERO competition - you know that France and Italy had to have their competitions last weekend because they could not manage the same date as Spain, Andorra and the UK. The Italian competition was held in the town of Lodi, just outside Milan, and I was privileged to start both sections of the competition, in the beautiful Library of the town. While the competition was going on I was given a guided tour of the school and spoke to a class of English students.
My Italian colleagues made me very welcome and here you can see some links to a Classics teachers' blog which has publicised my trip. Please pass this news on to Dr. Federico for us.
Now I need to collate all the information and get the question papers ready for our competition on Friday 18th April. We have had lots of entries and it should be a big event. As we agreed when we spoke on the phone, the Hercules questions will include one common question as a European tie-breaker so that we can decide which school will get the batik. We will translate the answer of the winner of the French/Italian contest and the Spanish/Andorran/UK contest and send them both to you (with some suggestions of what to consider for your judging) so that you can judge the overall winner.
All the best,
from Anne
