Year 5 Learn About School Motto In Latin Session
Last Thursday, Year 5 were treated to a Latin session from Senior School teacher, Mrs Dakin, who talked about the origins of different Latin words.
The pupils learnt about Kingswood School’s motto ‘In Via Recta Celeriter’ and how it translates to ‘In The Right Way Quickly’.
The pupils would like to thank Mrs Dakin for the lesson and have shared some of their favourite facts:
“I learnt that horticulture is a Latin word and it means ‘gardening’.” - Esme
“Our school motto is in Latin and it is translated as ‘In the Right Way Quickly’.” – Will
“A lot of the words that we say are actually from Latin words.” - Emmy
“The more posh words in our language are from Latin and the more simple words that we use in everyday life are from the Anglo-Saxons.” - Poppy
“The Latin words are not from the Roman invasion but from the Normans. They had Latin in their language.” - Finn
“French and Latin and Spanish are called the Romance languages.” - Henry
