Our first session was a creative one where students decorated a medieval goblet and build a cardboard castle. The rest of the day was conducted by Ben and Diana from Rampant Entertainment. Students took part in a Medieval show where they had the opportunity to try on chainmail, helmets and other Medieval clothes. After recess they took part in the ‘Squires Run’, a mock Medieval battle which the students enjoyed. Year 8 were treated to a ‘Court Jester’ show after lunch and were very astounded by his magical powers’

Here are some reflections by Year 8 students:

“Year 8 Medieval Day was hilarious, entertaining and overall, fun! From displaying our artistic skills while dressing up, making a Medieval style castle and decorating a goblet to watching interactive shows that were extremely amusing and informative. In my opinion, the shows were my favourite part as everyone seemed to have a massive smile on their face and the actors were excellent. I would like to thank all of the HSIE teachers involved and Mr White, the KLA Coordinator. Thank you!” Rebecca M

Last week Yr 8 had the pleasure of participating in medieval day. This day was also corresponding with the Medieval topic we are currently studying. Our day consisted of costume judging (I was a winner- I was a monk)  (AMAZING outfits Year 8!) and then a performance by some hilarious people. I think the part I most enjoyed was when we tried on medieval armour and other things! Can I just say a HUGE thanks to all the teachers and performers for planning this day. Sarah G

Medieval day 2022 was a fun experience to learn everything about the Medieval era and have on-hand interaction with weapons and clothes of the time. The shows and activities showed us different exercises of fashion and glam in the era, like decorating our own goblets and creating our own castles. The show was very interactive and had a lot of hands-on activities where we got to hold weapons and clothes and even had a fun activity where we could become knights and create our knight team name.
