We were peasants and candlemakers

For our second case study we are exploring what life was like in a castle during medieval times. We learn about the Feudal System and how the higher up the feudal system you were the more power and money you had. We began by experiencing life as a peasant by doing lots of hard jobs such as cleaning and sweeping.

For our next job we became candle makers. We talked about how there was no iPads, phones, TVs or electricity in a castle during the 12th Century so children had to find other ways to entertain themselves. No electricity also meant no lights so candles were essential.

I wonder what jobs we will experience next!
