It has been a fun and fantastic week in 7th grade these last weeks. We have castle projects going on, trebuchets being launched, presentations being presented, and food being cooked and served.
Here is a video of the Trebuchet Launch: Trebuchet Video
Below are some photos of Pottage being made for Renesance Night food. Pottage was the classic commoner food duirn the middle ages, and is made with cracked wheat, almond milk, and water. Students ground the wheat and made the almond milk from scrath.

We also ate up some Cracked Wheat Cerel and served it warm with almond milk, cinnamon, butter, and brown sugar - it was super YUMMY!
Indeed - it has been a good week.
