I believe there will be two additional families joining us, so at least 8 more children and 2 more adults. It looks like it will be a good size group!
If I don't have this correct let me know. If I forgot anyone, let me know. If anyone else wants to join in, let me know.
The cost is 8.00 per child. Adults are free. I will fill out the registration form on Monday and send it off by Tuesday to give everyone time if there are any changes/additions.
OK we are in!! 5 (me included) plus two beans! Our oldest wanted to bring the youngest bean but then remembered she isn't lactating. :) Thanks sooo much Sherry for organizing.
I've been in contact with the coordinator over the past couple of days. She said we should get a group together and then send in one cheque for the total amount. This would be much easier for her logistically. If we mail it in to her within the next week, we should be okay for getting in, but she can't guarantee it. So, that doesn't leave us much time to ask around.
She did re-iterate that although homeschooling families are welcome to participate, comments in the past have said that those children outside the grade 4 level window by quite a bit (I'm assuming more than 2 years on either side of grade 4) have found the workshops/stations to be too easy or too hard. So, families should be mindful of this if there is a large age range of children.
We would go through the various workshop stations as a group. It sounds like a great day!
So, if anyone is interested in attending this event, if you could let me know in the next couple of days. We can organize the money and I can send a cheque out a.s.a.p.
I think if we had an organizer, that person could call down and ask questions directly for this year. I believe they would just put us through as a classroom. I bet our group would be big enough. Our three families plus an extra little one in Thorndale make 14 I think. I would like to take a full van if possible (maybe there are some bigger 'beans' that would like to go - so that would be two more.)
We would definitely be up for this! We are not currently studying the Medieval times but my oldest 2 did when they were in grade 4 and loved it. Nathan is also asking lots of questions about it as well and would really enjoy it.
Sherry, do you think we could get a group organized? I think you mentioned that Tracy's family is doing Medieval times too? They might be interested. We could even contact the other homeschooling group that we went to the police station with to see if they are interested? Just a thought.
Joanne, do you know if there is a minimum group size that we must reach? Or how they would want us to apply for homeschoolers?
This is the text from an email I received about the festival "Robin In The Hood". I have never been before. I spoke with them last year and they are just fine with homeschool people going (she knew they wouldn't all be grade 4). We could get a group together and go. I'm not certain that I am volunteering to organize a homeschool field trip, but I will put it out there for your interest and comments. I know my kids would love to go.

Hello to all our medieval educators. It’s that time of year again, where we prepare for the
Education Day component of the Robin in the Hood Medieval Festival. Can you believe that we
are going into our 14th year? With the feedback and support that you have shown us in the past,
we are sure 2014’s event will be great success.
Do you want your students to experience what life was like during the Middle Ages? How would
you like your students to participate in hands on workshops? We offer chances to learn about all
aspects of medieval life from medieval dance, games, knight school, and much more.

outdoor event. Please prepare to be outside for the whole day and dress according to the weather.
Who:
Our education day is geared towards Grade 4 students studying medieval history as part of their
curriculum. The cost for this event is $8.00 per student which covers the full day event. All
teachers, supervisors and parent volunteers are given free admission. There is no limit to the
number of supervisors allowed at this event.
The Robin in the Hood Medieval Festival welcomes all educational groups to our festival’s
Education Day to join us and experience what life was like in the Middle Ages. It is important to
note, however, that our Education Day program is geared specifically towards the grade 4
curriculum and students too far outside of this age group may not be as engaged in the material
In recent years we have had concerns raised about students leaving their tour groups and
workshops for any number of reasons and, due to liability concerns, we have to request that all
children regardless of age remain with their group at all times (with the exception of bathroom
breaks).
How to Sign Up:
Just send the form below and with a cheque for the full amount through the mail to the Robin in
the Hood Education Day mailing address; 18-476 Kingscourt Dr., Waterloo, ON N2K 3R3.

basis
Please make cheques payable to Robin in the Hood Medieval Festival. Please send one cheque
per school (not per class) for the full amount.
