In humanities we are studying the medieval era. One of the things we are doing is medieval guilds. There are many different guilds, like stonemasons, medicine and my guild butcher, baker and candlestick maker. We wrote letters to three of the guild master of the guild we wanted to be in. Then the guild masters looked at the letters and choose our guilds. 

My guild master is Margaret, and there are six other people in my guild. Kate, Colette, Piper, Stella, Olivia B. and Ben. We have been doing a lot of cooking. But we are starting to sew our costumes for the medieval guild pageant. We also went to a spice shop to look at all the different spices. We have make lemon chicken and fava beans. But we have also done some baking. We have to make a medieval baked treat for the medieval pageant, so some of us have brought in some food for people in our guild to try. Some of the food that we have brought in:

Date pie (Kate and I made it , it wasn’t very good)

Pear pie (Colette made it, it was good)

Apple honey mush (Ben made it, that was also good)

Second attempts:

Honey cookies (Kate and I made them, they were really good)

Fried dough balls (Ben made them, they were really good too)

Fruit pie (Olivia B. made it, that was good too)

We are also sewing as I said before, we are doing embroidery and we are starting to make our costumes. I have kind of been teaching a little bit of the sewing part. We started by pleating our skirts.  And next time we are going to start sewing it. I helped Margaret find out how we are going to make the sleeves puffy.

At the end of the time we write in our note books, we write everything that we did and these are going to be on display at the pageant.

I have a lot of fun during guilds and I would love to do it everyday!
