Knights Knights had an elevated position in English society and still do. The concept of knighthood came into being during the Middle Ages. A knight was a man usually of noble birth who after an apprenticeship as a page and a squire was placed in a high military rank and bound to chivalrous conduct. He was a mounted soldier who served the king. However, not all men who were knights were born into the title; sometimes if a man had shown great courage and skill in defending his country, the king would “knight” him i.e. give him a title, a parcel of land and maybe even a castle. Today a knight is not obligated to defend his country; he inherits the title and estate simply because of birth order i.e. being the first born male of the family. Discuss how the female siblings might feel about this in today’s world. How would you feel if your parents left almost everything to the eldest child? History is a sequence of change and continuity and it shows us that there is a reason for everything. The knights of medieval England wore heavy armour to protect themselves in battle. Over time armour changed from “chain mail” (which was a mesh of tiny interlocking rings) to plate armour. Plate armour was sword proof but became obsolete when there were changes in weaponry, specifically the invention of guns. Look at the different armour worn by the knights over time. What do British military men wear today? Embossed Knight Materials Embossing Foil, Cover Paper, Flex-It Mesh 1. Use Embossing Foil to cut out various shapes to collage a knight. 2.

Stonehenge Stonehenge is one of the most iconic ancient structures in England, sitting 137 km south west of London in Wiltshire, it is a circular configuration of stones. It was possibly built by the Druids, Greeks and Atlanteans C. 2500 BC but for what purpose is still a great mystery because very little information exists about these peoples and their lifestyles. Some people believed that Stonehenge was built as an altar for sacrifice; others speculate it was a tool for astronomical observations. Interestingly, the circle has been aligned to coincide with midsummer sunrise and midwinter sunset; the southerly and northerly rising of the moon is also seen; and its builders have taken mathematical and geometrical considerations into account. The building of Stonehenge can lead to enriching problem solving discussion. Ask students to get into groups and find out: What is Stonehenge built of? Where did the stones come from? How do you think these stones were transported? How do you think they erected the structure? What do you think it was used for? Each group could report back to the class.
