What do we
already
know about
knights?
Hear ye! Hear ye!
The queen has put out notice that all squires in the land are required to
attend knight training!
There are 6 training stations around the room - You may choose your
starting position.
All squires will spend at least 5 minutes at each training station before
moving on at the sound of the bell.
Squires will move in a clockwise fashion to prevent duels over their honor!
The training booklet must be filled in completely before being presented to
the queen - If you are deemed to be chivalrous and kind, you will be
knighted!
You may then take a shield and fill it in until the end of the lesson
