Medieval+Day+REFLECTION

On the 3rd of September 2008 a man came to our school to tell us all about the Medieval Times. Everyone had an opportunity to dress up like the people in the Medieval Times did and come to school like it, but not many of the class did. I was one of the people that didn’t dress up I just came in my school clothes. We had to do all types of different activities as well, this medieval day went all day which wasn’t a bad thing because we got out of doing school work. We were supplied with lunch which was soup which I honestly thought looked like spew so I didn’t eat any, Chicken drum sticks which weren’t that good, Quiche which was cold and also custard tarts which I didn’t have one. He also brought heaps of medieval weapons, Medieval Armour, Medieval Clothing. At times the man called people up to either do an experiment, show people the clothing that they use to wear and put it, some people also got to put on some of the armour. We also got shown how some of the weapons were used. He demonstrated but didn’t really do it he just pretended to do it. I had to get up once but I didn’t really want to but I did. Some of the activities were we had to dance which was boring, hitting a metal stick thing and also a lot of other activities. Not that long before the end of the day the man put on amour and got a shield and one person at a time got to get up and try hit him with a long bit of wood while he was all covered up with shielding materials. Everyone that got to hit him enjoyed it. I think the only reason he let us hit him is because he actually does medieval fighting for a career. But overall I thought that the Medieval day was good because we got to learn about Medieval Times such as Medieval fighting, Medieval clothing, Medieval Weapons ECT. It was also a lot better than doing school work. So that is why I enjoyed the Medieval Day.
