Further Expansion of The Literacy Through Latin Project
In October 2012, the Literacy through Latin project was expanded to Reading, Manchester and St Andrews, with all places using the template of the project to set up local versions Iris Project staff provide guidance and mentoring for the student teachers and university staff liaison officers. In October 2013, the project will expand to Glasgow. In 2012-3, there has been a pilot of a course book written and illustrated by Iris Project members, Telling Tales in Latin in Pegasus primary school in Oxford and St Saviours primary school in London which culminates in the pupils sitting the new OCR Entry Level Latin qualification. In October 2013, it is planned for other interested schools to use the project towards an examination.

Famous quotes containing the words expansion, latin and/or project:
“The fundamental steps of expansion that will open a person, over time, to the full flowering of his or her individuality are the same for both genders. But men and women are rarely in the same place struggling with the same questions at the same age.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
“But these young scholars, who invade our hills,
Bold as the engineer who fells the wood,
And travelling often in the cut he makes,
Love not the flower they pluck, and know it not
And all their botany is Latin names.
The old men studied magic in the flowers.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Music is so much a part of their daily lives that if an Indian visits another reservation one of the first questions asked on his return is: “What new songs did you learn?””
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
