Year 8 Medieval Day

Friday 8th March, all Year 8 students participated in an incursion led by some passionate medieval educators. Students were immersed in the history of Medieval Europe, which they have been studying in class this term. 

Throughout the day, students put their talents to the test when participating in medieval games and music and dance. Armour and weapons were brought to life in the Age of Chivalry session where students were able to feel the weight of a knight’s armour and challenge a friend to a sword fighting duel. 

Brave volunteers built a shield wall and faced attack from cannon fire (tennis balls) when learning about medieval warfare, whilst others were locked in the stocks during the harm and healing session. 

All students should be congratulated for their enthusiastic participation on the day. 

An extra special congratulations goes to Nora Adams (8C) and Maeve Briddock (8G) for winning the prizes for best dressed - you were the most medieval of them all!
