Ancient times brought to life at Trinity
The Humanities department plunged the junior school into ancient history this week with a crash course in medieval life and ancient times for the Years 7 and 8 students.
The incursion commenced with Year 8 students experiencing practical activities that highlighted the customs and practices of Medieval times. Weapons, armour, fashion and textiles, crime and punishment and medieval dance were examined with practical demonstrations that aimed to provide a deeper understanding of the era, complete with a tournament held on the College oval!
The Year 7 cohort were treated to activities that highlighted ancient times to complement their classroom learning. Archery, feudalism, ancient metalworking, sports and warriors and warfare were embraced by the students who relished wielding a bow and arrow and trying on clunky armour.
The incursion was presented by Medieval Education Company and provided a valuable way for the younger students to retain the historical information through interactive and engaged learning.
