Our Norman banquet in Year 2

Last week, we finished our learning about food from the Norman times - when there was lots of castles, battles and knights. We celebrated this by having a Norman banquet using all of the things we learnt.

We know that Norman knights and kings didn't have proper plates like we did as they were very expensive. Instead they normally used stale bread. We didn't fancy eating stale bread, so we used toast instead (and then we got to eat our plate... yum!).

On our bread, we could have had lots of things, like cheese (Cheddar and Wensleydale cheese both originate from Norman times), ham, chicken, jam, marmelade and fish paste. We also had a lot of honey at the ready because the Normans liked putting honey on everything, even ham and chicken! Some of us were very brave and gave it a go, and we didn't mind it too much...!

Here are some photos of 2D and 2F having a fantastic Norman banquet. Well done, Year 2, for being so brave and trying new things even though some of them were a bit funny.
