Medieval Games

Valerie's 6th grade class studied the medieval period this year. A culminating activity for them was to participate in an exhibition with other Waldorf schools in Northern California.



Students were divided into Shires and demonstrated some skills for the king and queen. Here's Valerie dancing across the pontoon bridge. She made it look easy.


She had good form on the javelin.





And what an archer!


She slayed the black dragon!


She crossed the swamp on a pole.


But decided to go for a refreshing plunge.


Mmmmm! Leaches!


At the end of the day she was knighted.


Meanwhile the parents horses around. You can see the executioner caught up with me .


Here's Valerie's class with their tabards they made with their personal crests.


Up close you might be able to see her crest is of two rats that look like Cookie's & Cream in a yin and yang pose.


Huzzah!
