Discover life in a medieval castle.
The school hall will become the great hall of the castle, and the pupils
will take the roles of peasants and craftsmen who will be busy at their
tasks while sharing all the latest gossip.
Setting
1144 AD: The castles day is set
during the early medieval period and concentrates on the day to day life in
a typical Norman castle under siege in the south east of England.
Workshops
History Off the Page will bring all
the equipment and materials needed to set up workshops in your hall. The
pupils can choose from a variety of activities such as candle making,
creating gargoyles and becoming medieval doctors.
Banquet
and/or tournament
During the afternoon session the
pupils will experience a banquet and/tournament which will continue the pupils role-playing
and provide further historical information on life in a castle. The banquet
makes use of many of the early medieval traditions and customs.
