Using quill pens

We used quill pens to write like the monks did.

Making lanterns

We used tissue paper and black card to make a lantern. The monks would have done their writing by the light of a lantern.

Mealtimes

We learned what the monks ate and looked at the cutlery and the pots they used.

This is a spoon made of reindeer horn.

We learned the sign language used by the monks to say soup, bread, I want to chat and I want to see the abbot.
