Summary: Teaching Minimus in a Primary School
Comment: As a classically-educated semi-retired non-teacher, with a strong interest in education, I have been teaching Minimus over the last six months to a smallish class of 5th and 6th year boys and girls in a local Primary School. They have thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly with the wide variety of aspects(from historical to culinary) at which the course pointed; and the charm of the Minimus text has made it a pleasant as well as interesting task to teach. It has also provided the children with a fun opportunity to perform a play in Latin (they used scripts - Latin by heart would have been a step too far), to explore Latin roots in the English Language, and even to have a look at an easier Winnie ille Pu passage. (Beware: Winnie ille Pu Latin is not easy at all.)
My only niggle- I think that the course could have been just a little more ambitious in the level of grammar that it offered.
As well as re-starting the basic Minimus course, I am looking forward in the Autumn to taking some of the children for the Minimus Secundus course (for the first time); it's significantly more challenging in terms of language-learning, but should be a good choice for keen 6th-year pupils (even without having done the basic Minimus course).

Summary: Wonderful
Comment: My daughter is 8 and has been following this book in Year 3 at school. Absolutely loves Latin, which is not the way her father felt about it. And having used the book at school, and done a Latin Play based on it, we all had to go to Hadrian's Wall this summer (this is where the book is set.)
To anyone who suffered Caesar's Gallic Wars and other really fairly turgid stuff in school Latin classes, this is utterly different, quite captivating and worthy of a 5 star rating.

Summary: Reader from London is Wrong!
Comment: This is not the teacher book - this is for children. Imaginative, informative, well-set out and brilliantly illustrated, this is a superb book for anyone interested in history, classics or language. No previous knowledge is required!
