Back in time...

Today at work, we went back in time. Our school disappeared and instead there was a medieval community, complete with Nuns, Monks, Beggars, Bakers, Blacksmiths, Jesters, and even a King!

Our school is doing a theme this week about the Middle Ages. Everyone was to come in fancy dress and we had to greet each other with the words - "Gods Peace".

The kids were really into it. There were many different workshops set up around the school. The kids were in different groups and they worked to earn money so they could buy soup or bread. We had beggers, begging for shillings or for food, and our school inspector dressed up as a King. Every time he was annouced or came by we had to bow down.

It was all really well thought out. On the way home on the train I met alot of kids. I was asking them about their day and what they had been up too. All of them really enjoyed their workshop. I think the most fun part for them was making money. All of them told me about how much money they had made and how much they are saving for market day on Thursday. Hilarious.

I was also dressed up, along with my boss Peter (below - what are we like?!!! haha).

I am looking forward to the next few days as I get to drop some of the cleaning and instead, get to spend a few hours helping in one of the groups. Should be fun! (There are some really good, fun things planned!)
