Year 7 and Year 8 students welcomed presenters from Medieval Education on Wednesday 5 and Thursday 6 May for a multi-sensory experience around the topics of ancient civilisation and the medieval period.
Year 7 students have been focusing on ancient civilisation in class, specifically Rome and China. The presentations included exhibitions and displays on warriors and warfare plus rulers and subjects. Students were able to experience the hierarchy of society when they were asked to role play being Caesar or a tax collector during Roman times.
Throughout Term 1 Year 8 students had been focusing on the medieval period. The presenters included displays and reenactments of both weapons and armour, this included students being able to try on armour and experience a medieval tournament. These experiences had been designed to enable students to place into context what they have been learning during Semester 1.
A big thank you to all staff who gave up their valuable class time for these events to occur.
