Seventh-grade students at John Muir Middle School were immersed in Medieval-era history during the school’s annual Around The World Day on Friday, March 16.
The European Medieval era is book-ended by the fall of the Roman Empire and the emergence of Renaissance culture in the early 1400s.
“This day is an opportunity to reflect on and celebrate the societies we’ve studied,” commented Social Studies teacher Shelly Burish.
“It is a cultural appreciation day that includes a Peruvian musical ensemble, Taiko drumming, a swordplay performance, speakers, Nigerian drummers and a jousting event with horses and Medieval knights.”
Students spend the entire school day with hands-on activities connected to the Medieval time period.
