Triton sixth grade students traveled to Shaumberg, Ill., in March and enjoyed a very educational show by immersing themselves in the tale of the middle ages at Medieval Times.

The show was complete with a hearty meal and exciting action. Triton students were invited to a royal banquet hosted by the king of the realm. The banquet’s entertainment featured six of the king’s bravest knights in a competition of skills, with the winner taking the hand of the lovely princess.

The students watched skilled horse riding competitions, intense jousting matches and action packed hand to hand combat for a lively, fast paced time of entertainment. To add to the immersive nature, each section of the theatre was designated a knight to cheer on, offering a competitive spirit to the day.

The students showed a lot of pride and spirit as they enjoyed their day learning about the middle ages.
