Chilling.<br /><br />JoAnne- a stick with some egg boxes stuck to it, of course. Don't you think there's a spooky composition thing going on in that final photograph, especially in its size on the blog? Looks like some pose for a renaissance painting.<br /><br /><br />Everyadventure- nice to see you here. Couldnae afford a trebuchet, I'm afraid, no even a mangonel. Remember what I said about the books if you have any difficulties.<br /><br />Word verification is that fabled medieval beast, the unicoot.Hugh McMillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353561780315527799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16639447.post-16063799400357655192011-06-09T23:18:22.012+01:002011-06-09T23:18:22.012+01:00Wow, your Medieval Day beat the pants off the Medi...Wow, your Medieval Day beat the pants off the Medieval Day I threw at our school. Stained glass was a great idea, wish I'd thought of it... then again, it might not have mixed well with the trebuchet demonstration...<br /><br />everyadventureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16639447.post-58551705250002182482011-06-04T11:12:24.832+01:002011-06-04T11:12:24.832+01:00You're going to be the new judge on American X...You're going to be the new judge on American X Factor?!

Of course the beautiful maiden followed by...the less than beautiful um person, was startling. :) Some of those pictures are quite magical.<br /><br />You would've been one of my favorite teachers in school, no doubt. I still remember the History teacher when I was 13...because he made us re-enact WWI trench warfare, complete with school desks rearranged as trenches. I was on the "ammunition" committee, meaning I helped make all those paper balls we tossed at each other. Only "non-historical" moment? Teacher was a football coach so whenever someone was struck and "died", he'd blow his whistle, point at them and yell, "You're dead. Out!"hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03306622656461205674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16639447.post-3978066372389708402011-06-03T13:05:19.392+01:002011-06-03T13:05:19.392+01:00Once again, our appreciation of the extraordinary ...Once again, our appreciation of the extraordinary ordinaty teachers who can raise their game to put on a creative day like this for their pupils - we only did four music sessions and were knackered !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
