We have been studying Medieval Times since August. We are having our unit celebration this Friday. One of the co-op moms found a fun way to "wrap up" the unit. Some of our co-op families spent Tuesday at a Renaissance Festival just north of Charlotte, NC. Here are a few highlights of the day.
H trying to spin a (very heavy) ball on her finger.
Watching the glassblowing was very interesting.
The king and queen "held court". We were able to hear about life when King Richard reigned.
Lady H with the queen, king and princess.
Once the king and queen arrived, the jousting tournament could begin!
Our side of the arena cheered for the purple knight. He won!
The girls were given a "magic stone" and fairy dust by the fairy.
The girls rode in a swing. Notice the guys pushing the bars...hum...no electricity! The kids thought that was funny. (Yes, that's B's head in the corner of the photo.)
H, C and Mom took a (very short) camel ride.
With souvenirs in hand these are four children tired and ready to go home...but full of things to talk about on the 3 hour drive home.
