This is a hands-on experience in the sixth-grade curriculum, which focuses on in-depth medieval history.
Students dressed in tunics adorned with hand-stitched family crests and were divided into shires (Cheshire, Berkshire, Hampshire and Yorkshire), each shire engaged in four events — archery, jousting (with pillow sacks), stilt walking and conquering a 30-foot vertical climbing wall.
Waldorf schools from throughout the state participate in this annual event, hosted by Honolulu Waldorf School.
