Contents & Purpose

The Primary Latin Project is a website aimed at the teachers, it promotes the teaching of ancient languages in primary schools. The website provides training for teachers and helps with resources to run the programme based on the Minimus textbook in primary school. Minimus  is a unique Latin course for younger children based on a real family who lived in Britain at Vindolanda in 100 AD: Flavius, the fort commander, his wife Lepidina, their three children, assorted household slaves, their cat Vibrissa and Minimus the mouse. It is designed to be taught by non-specialists.

The website provides support for teaching both Greek and Latin in an engaging way. The audio stories of 24 ancient Greek myths told by professional storytellers are available online. Also, schemes of work for the Minimus course are downloadable. One can find also useful links and resources. The Project organizes an annual Mythology Competition for pupils and offers grants to state schools.
