Year one children at Bilton Grange enjoy medieval day with a banquet and a medieval tournament

Year One at Bilton Grange enjoyed a change from their normal routine last week: dressed as lords and ladies they enjoyed a medieval banquet for lunch and then took to their steeds (or space hoppers) to take part in a Medieval tournament.  To celebrate the end of their ‘Castles Week’ when they had learnt about life in Medieval England and visited Warwick Castle, the children enjoyed a whole day of activities that were a little different from the normal school routine.
 
In candlelight, with no knives and forks, the children enjoyed a medieval banquet, presided over by the King – Zachary Wenham and their teachers entered into the historical spirit, also dressing up and enjoying the scene.  The afternoon’s tournament saw the children playing different games that took inspiration from the jousts seen at Warwick Castle.  Earlier in the week, they worked together to build a castle from recycled rubbish, spending time looking at how castles were built – from the drawbridge to the turrets.
