Tuesday, August 27, 2024

Year 8 Students celebrated Medieval Day on 27th of August, students immersed themselves in the past during Medieval Day, part of their humanities curriculum. The school was transformed with activities highlighting medieval culture, including traditional dancing and lively music. Students donned period clothing, showcasing their creativity and craftsmanship. Engaging in historical games, they tested their skills and teamwork, while displays of weapons and armour offered a glimpse into the era's martial practices. This interactive experience deepened students' understanding of medieval life, making history come alive in a fun and memorable way. The day fostered enthusiasm for learning through hands-on engagement and collaboration.

Year 8 Experiences
“We got to go and learn more about the medieval time by dressing up, playing the games that they played, explore their type of music and perform sword fights. I’m glad the school organised this day because I didn’t really know much about the medieval period, but the staff and people who hosted it gave me a better understanding.” Joud

“I loved Medieval Day there was so much to do and so much to learn. My favourite was the Arms and Armour part.” Josephine

“On Medieval Day, the years 8s had so much fun doing arms & armour, games, costumes & lifestyle and music & dance. We learnt about different weapons, games, music, dance and outfits that the people had during the Medieval period. I enjoyed playing games and dancing with my class. I am very grateful to have experienced Medieval Day and I hope to do it again.” Tatiana


“I really enjoyed Medieval day because it wasn’t just fun, it was also educational and I learnt lots of new things that I didn't know already about the Medieval times, I personally enjoyed music and dance more then the other activities, as we did a fun Medieval dance called “Caroling” It was super fun.” Elissa

“Medieval day was a very engaging and fun way for us to deeper our learning of medieval Europe. There were many fun activities such as dressing up, dancing, playing games, and my personal favourite, fighting, where we got to engage in 1-on-1 combat with our friends.” Marisya
