Medieval Europe: Illuminations

 

Learning about the life of Monks was our next step in the studies of Medieval Ages. We read The Beatryce Prophecy by Kate DiCamillo and mixed all that darkness up with the lightness of Horrible Histories! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1__I_looDNA

We attempted to take a Vow of Silence over a meal (that was nearly impossible!). Instead, we tried Illuminations; the diagrams that monks drew in hand written books decorated with flowers and foliage.
