The following suggested program will give you some idea of what we can offer. Feel free to add, subtract, modify or come up with anything else that may be more appropriate.

Sample School Program

Introduction and setting the scene

• Medieval Living: How and where they lived in France and England in the 11'th century
• How they dressed (Note: There are not enough costumes for every student. We can demonstrate our outfits plus 2 students)
• The Scots and Celts: what they wore and how they lived 
• The church: The importance of the church in medieval life (one student will be dressed up as a monk) 
• The Barons and Knights: how they lived, codes of chivalry, what they wore 
• Weapons and Armour of a Crusader Knight and Scottish Highlander 
• The Crusades 
• The warrior Knight: Fighting styles of the Norman knight and Scottish warrior 
• Combat demonstration (some student involvement) 
• The English Longbow with demonstration 
• Music of the Middle ages including the bagpipes  
• Final salute and farewell (sword and pipes)

Notes
You might like to consider your school providing a simple medieval morning tea and lunch (we can suggest a menu.) If the students could come in a basic costume that they have researched it would enhance the atmosphere of the day.

Additional Curriculum Topics
We are aware that some schools also offer teaching on the Vikings and Renaissance era. We also offer performances of both of these topics with accurate historical costume and artifacts covering topics as lifestyle, politics, crime and punishment, fighting styles, the church, religious belief, mythology, conquests etc.
