medieval times topic

This term we have been learning about medieval times. I learned about three crop rotation and when it was introduced, I remembered about that from the work that we had been doing on farms for our minecraft village. we learnt about the plague that came to Europe in about the 14th century. I learnt this in the group reading discussions. I also learnt about cooks and how they can be a lords favourite and become a knight. I learnt allot more as well. The things that we did that helped me remember the things that we learnt were group discussions, watching videos, building things on minecraft, role-playing on minecraft and doing power-points.

Tech

Tech
Lately at tech I have been doing cooking. So far I have done woodwork's  sowing and cooking. I made a spoon in woodwork's  a pillow with Gunter on it in sowing and lots of yummy food in cooking. In woodwork's I learnt what the safety rules were and what all of the tools were called. And I learnt also how to use tools properly. In sowing I learnt how to set up the sewing machine and how to use a sewing machine. And also I learned how to sew straight lines and curved lines. In cooking I learnt about bacteria in food and how to know if meat is cooked well enough and all of the safety rules in the kitchen. My favourite thing so far has to be cooking.

medieval times

This term we have been learning about medieval times. So far I have learnt about the different ranks and what they do. Also about the different types of castles and buildings. I also learnt about what the pheasants might do with their day, and that they used pictures for the signs on the shops because they couldn't read. i also haver an idea for a fun activity that we could have roleplays.
