As a culminating event, we wrapped up our studies of the
Middle Ages with a Medieval Feast and classroom presentations. The students' unique passions and learning styles came out as we decorated the lunch room, made costumes, had a bit of
merry-making and presented our classroom projects to our guests. Even the Queen of Seabury attended, Mrs. Wollum,
and she gave a royal toast to
the Navigators, to the Spirits
and to the entire Seabury community.
Large banners with scenes from the Middle Ages
The Navigators' Illuminated SEABURY Letters
and
The Navigators' Tapestry
(made in the style of the Bayeux Tapestry)
The tapestry up close:
The Vikings of the early Middle Ages
St. Francis of Assisi
Fighting Knights
A peacock centerpiece
Walter the dog transformed into a wild boar with an apple in its mouth
Making fancy goblets in front of our Castle
The Great Room complete with the high table, torches, banners, pennants and centerpieces.
Home-made pretzels
Cheese and herbs
Chicken legs
The guests have arrived. Standing room only.
Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen!
The Royalty and Nobles
Queen Wollum, King Arthur, Lady Guinevere and Lady Suzanne
The Queen is presented with her Royal Seabury Goblet
Here's to Seabury!
Here, here!
Here, here!
The feast is ready.
It has been a plentiful year.
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
"Please, sir, I want some more."
Let the merry making begin!
What is Camelot?
A place where people park their camels!
Why are the Middle Ages called the Dark Ages?
Because there are so many knights!
Mrs. Maitlen and Mrs. Towne all dressed up for the occasion.
They seem to have a lot of fun together!
Thank you, parents, for making our feast possible.
As you can tell, we have learned a lot about the time period and we thoroughly enjoyed having you join us today to share in our festive re-enactment.
