Hear Ye, Hear Ye!

( Insert trumpet blasts)

"Come one, come all to the castle of Lady Jessica and Lady Ruby as they honor their hard working serfs who are being promoted to knighthood! There will be feasting, dancing and a grand knighting ceremony!"

All school year we have been studying the Medieval World, and last week all of our hard work paid off in a fun afternoon of living history! The students invited the Lords and Ladies of Back2Back (a.k.a., their parents) to a feast, complete with Medieval delicacies, a jester, minstrels, a troubadour, and servers!

The servers taking out the first course of fresh fruit...

We also had scones, Wassil, Welsh Rabbit, and Yorkshire Pudding. A huge thanks to the parents for helping create these Medieval dishes!

After the feast we had a quick costume change for the knighting ceremony...

"I dub you Sir Mark..."

After the ceremony we all headed outside to learn some Medieval dances!

That was such a fun day! This week in Anatomy we are studying Health and Nutrition, so I have been doing a Fruit and Veggie Challenge with my students. If they can get the recommended serving of fruits and veggies everyday then we will have a "Nuts for Nutrition" Party, complete with healthy snacks and outdoor activities! January is shaping up to be quite a fun month in SMCA!
