2:40 to 3:30 We revert to the Serfs we are and clean up after ourselves
- Attending the Banquet in Character (role)
- students have been given a role to play from Medieval Europe
- they are expected to know something about what the life for that person
would have been like
- they are to come to the feast creatively dress in a costume (at no cost to parents) that would be similar
to that worn by a person of that station in society
Performing
- students need to perform at least twice, but may perform more times - alone
or in small groups
- acceptable performances include: magic tricks, storytelling, reading picture
books, reciting poetry, puppet play, singing, playing a musical instrument
(piano, recorder, guitar, flute), juggling
Food
- every Feast involves food - so does ours
- students are encouraged to plan with their friends what they are bringing so
that a variety of food is brought
- each student is to bring a beverage - preferred drinks are apple juice
(apple cider), grape juice (wine), root beer (beer) or ginger ale (ale)
- since it is a buffet - each student should bring a heaping plateful of food
(if possible)
- if there are reasons a child cannot share food, that is OK - just send a
regular lunch
- we will be eating with our hands - messy foods should be avoided (remember
that there is only 1 running stream to wash hands in, in all the land!)
- label all dishes that need to be returned, please be ready to wash them in
your own castle
Honored Guests
- we would be thrilled to have parents, relatives, siblings, neighbors and
good friends of our students come and join us for The Feast from 11:40 to
12:40 ~ we will surely have enough food ~ and we could truly use the help
of additional adult hands
- if you want to drop by at any other time to watch your child's performance, or for the full day - you are very
welcome
Yours truly,
Baroness
