We were very lucky today! Our "Pals" from Croft came to visit us and we had a big day all centered around the Middle Ages. First we learned all about stained glass and we made one each. Look in our windows in the upcoming days and see if you can see them from the road!
After dinner we ventured across the street, compliments of Father Tom, to the beautiful St. Mary's Church and we learned about their stain glass and looked at the architectural structures that were similar to that of the Middle Ages and also those that have changed. Mme Robichaud really knew her stuff in this area. Thank you Madame!
Next, we went to the ballfield behind the Middle School to attempt to build a Medieval snow castle. Sadly, this did not work out quite as well as we imagined it, but we tried!! Since this plan didn't work we went to plan B which was to finish our stain glass and check out some really cool websites. Check out the websites on my teahcer page.
What an amazing DAY!! I can't wait until next month when we head out to Rogersville with our Croft "Pals" on March 1st to practise our french in a french community! Thank you Croft for a splendid day! Stay tuned for pictures!
