In case you were wondering, yes, this happend last month, but better late than never! We have been studying the midieval times in school so we decided to end this school year with a feast. With each family bringing a dish we manage to have quite an assortment!
Before we dug in we had our young knights participate in some competitions. A catapult made by Lance used tennis balls to knock down a “castle.”
Then trying to knock your opponent off the board with pillows.
Archery, slay the dragon!
And now training with the quintain.
At the end the noble knights received their swords.
Behold the feast tables.
Me and my minion
A little while later we visited the Texas renessiance festival. Several of us got called up to help in performances.
Skyes part was a bit more terrifying than Edens….. A sword through the neck!
We also watched a jousting re-enactment which the boys were thrilled with.
A fire breathing acrobat.
Garrison in the stocks for misconduct.
And finally, at the end, one of the best firework displays we have ever seen.
Thanks for reading! Until next time, -Ivy
This has been a fun unit study! And your costumes are fabulous!
