Student reflection
“I liked about the Medieval Day was about the tournament because I liked when we get to see all the grade 8 together instead of all the grades being separated. I liked when we were able to fight the guy in the solider suit. I also liked when we were able to draw a picture for the newsletter it made it look more cool and realistic. There were a lot of cool things like cooking the bread the way they did it back in medieval times.” - Jennifer M

“I liked everything in Medieval Day but my favourite was the tournament period one we learnt about how weapons and amor evolved throughout time and it was fun because I got to wear a helmet with a crossbow for a weapon. Period two we learnt about troubadours and entertainment and we learnt how to juggle properly. Period 3 we made medieval bread and ate it with raspberry jam that Ms Josephine made us while learning about facts about how people ate in the medieval times. Period four we got to do a tournament were we learnt that knights would fight each other so some students got to fight our guest. Period five was our assessment which was hard but a bit easy I wrote about how the medieval armour evolved through time and how I got to wear some. I really loved medieval day and it was a good experience I hope we can do more of these activities in the future.” - Lukas F
