Written by To celebrate Warwick University’s 60th anniversary, the Department of Classics and Ancient History is running a competition for local schools and schools across the country with a focus on ancient buildings and the communities who interacted in these spaces.
“Just as our own community here at Warwick has been created through the interactions in the buildings on campus (our amazing new Faculty of Arts Building – the FAB – for example is a place where people from across the Faculty can interact and share ideas), so too did ancient communities come together and evolve through the shared spaces they inhabited.”
We want pupils to create a piece of work on the theme of ‘Building Communities’ which looks at ancient buildings/spaces and how these were used by communities in the ancient world. The winning entries will each win a Lego pyramid for their school.
They are looking for entries from Primary and Secondary Schools in these categories:
- Minecraft – if you are a whizz at Minecraft, how about recreating an ancient public space, a temple, or other public building?
- Creative Design (drawing, painting, digital design, and also building with Lego) – or perhaps creating a building in Lego or another artistic recreation of an ancient site or space?
- Creative Writing (storytelling, poetry, drama) – or if words are your strength, tell us a story or bring the ancient world to life in poetry or drama
Further information about the competition and how to enter is all HERE.
