Medieval Festival

Every year the 6th graders hold a Medieval Festival. They spent a lot of time learning and preparing for the even. Josh did a lot of research about the crusades and wrote a historical fiction piece. On the day of the festival, the students get dressed up and participate in a lot of different events. They did some juggling, play medieval card games, make a candle, do a little jousting, and a few other things. I volunteered that day and was anxious to be apart of this event. I was helping a parent run the card games when the parent running the jousting event had to quickly leave. I took over his spot and felt unprepared to teach the class, but did it anyway. I learned a little more about jousting that day and got great pictures.

Josh dressed up as a Jester. He picked out the colors and a family member made it for him.

Here is Josh jousting.

This was before I volunteered.

A yummy lunch made by his teacher.

The 6th graders also had to create a castle with a working prop. The catapult really works.
