On Thursday 9 August, Year 7 students in Learning Enrichment participated in a Medieval Incursion.
Guest speakers James Adams and Wayne Robinson spoke to students about life in Medieval times.
In particular, students learnt about the life of knights including weapons and armour, with some students earning the opportunity to dress up like Medieval Knights. Students were engaged and had many questions answered throughout the presentation. At the end, students had the chance to view and hold many of the different Medieval items our guests had brought with them.
Thanks for coming and sharing your knowledge James and Wayne!
