Medieval Studies

The senior students were coached in the sport of archery this week in physical education. Don and Marianne from The North Shore Archers coached the students in the safe and correct method of shooting the arrows at the target. Jon, already a member of The North Shore Archers brought his own bow and demonstrated how to shoot effectively. The students were using re-curve bows ranging from 16 to 30 pounds. This activity is part of the grade 7 and 8 MYP cross curricular unit on Medieval Realms. Look out for stories of their alchemy work in science, the latest in castle design in IT and medieval inspired tunes in music
