3rd form Latinists all safely returned from Bath. They were really excellent company.

This week, the second form has been looking at Pliny’s letters about the eruption of Vesuvius and then using AI to produce images representing scenes from them. The results were… spectacular!

And a few more AI images inspired by Pliny:

A busy first day of our Latin GCSE trip, with a wonderful tour of ChedworthRomanVilla and a visit to Cirencester and its amphitheatre before settling into our bunkhouses in Wales.

Another busy day for our GCSE Latinists, with a trip to NT Dolaucothi gold mine, followed by a spot of bowling in Carmarthen and another amphitheatre.

Some more pictures of the wonderful NT Dolaucothi mines, and a face that some The Oratory School - Old Oratorians (Alumni) might find familiar!

Beautiful day The Oratory School today

The sky’s still grey, but Spring is definitely on its way!
