Castle Activities  

Today's post is written by Classical Academy High School Student Katie E

     We were able to participate in some fun activities at the castle on Saturday afternoon replicating Medieval times.  First, we constructed miniature model siege machines called trebuchets.  Then we had a contest to see which group could knock down the foam "walls" we built. Our group did not make much damage!

     Next, we were able to make homemade bread from scratch!  We measure our ingredients in grams and milliliters. We kneaded our dough and made many different shapes, braids and even animals!

     After our sculptures were put in the oven, we played a game they called "The Photo Challenge." We attempted to match the photo given within the location in the castle. It served as a harder game than expected since the castle was such a maze.
     Next, we did archery.  One of the castle staff showed us how to properly prepare the bow and how to aim.  Then we had a competition which was fun.  Our afternoon of great activities was concluded with a Medieval Feast.
