The Junior School History Day

Not only does The Towers look medieval with its twin turrets on the front but, on Thursday 12th November, it was transported back in time. The Juniors were able to enjoy some medieval magic when their hall was transformed into a castle and they were visited by  Peter Balanck. Peter is a pedlar from Medieval Days and he arrived at the school to talk about and show over 50 artefacts including weapons, armour, jewellery and many everyday objects from the Middle Ages including a most valuable 700-year-old jar. He was so interesting and his enthusiasm for the era was infectious. History really came to life.

The children, working in their houses, also experienced tournament style archery, jousting and measuring horse’s girths session, a smelling and concocting medieval pomander science experiment and design a shield plus weaving, art and craft not forgetting medieval dancing. Everyone, staff and children dressed up for the day and even lunch had a medieval meal theme. It was a day of wonder, colour, surprises, magic and fun. All in all a brilliant History Day.
