Jobs in the medieval ages

Squires used to work for knights. Their job was to help the knights, and clean the dirty armor suit.They had to clean it with urine(because it had ammonia), vinegar, and sand. After the battle was over, Archers had to look for half dead bodies then kill them, because they would die a slow, painful death anyway. In the middle ages, they used leeches to suck your blood out. They believed it would suck the bad out. The person collected leeches was called the Leech Collector. Barber surgeons would basically have two jobs, a job of a barber and a job of a doctor. The reason they did this was that they already had the materials.They would pour the medicine through a tube through the butt hole. Then there was someone known as the "Wise" lady. They would give you weird things to help cure your sicknesses. For Ex:They would put live worms on your throat to cure your sore throat.When those worms died they believed your sore throat would get cured. To build Cathedrals they needed mortar, clay and lime. To make lime they needed to burn chalk. But the problem was that when you burn chalk it gives off carbon monoxide which is deadly. The treadmill workers were usually blind people because these treadmills were on top of buildings and the blind people wouldn't be afraid.They would use treadmills to lift up stuff. And then there were people known as fullers. Because wool fabric is greasy,they have to process it to make it a tighter material. For that they used water, urine(to grease it and because it had ammonia). And they would keep on stepping on it for a long time.

I think the worst job is building a Cathedral because they didn't have modern technology like we do so there was a risk of dying .They had to burn chalk and it gave off carbon monoxide but they didn't have any safety equipment back then. So a lot of them died while working there. So that is the reason I think that it is the worst job.

If I had to choose any job to do I would choose to work on the treadmill. I know it's quite scary but I don't think it's as gross as other jobs. And I think it is easier than other jobs too.The only thing I would have to do is walk on the treadmill. It should be ok as long as you're blindfolded and make sure the treadmill is steady enough.

Mnemonic blog

In Feudalism basically there is this King who owns everything, then he spreads his kingdom amongst his friends called the Lords.Who in turn give their land to the Vassels to be taken care of. And the king also gives part of the land to the Church. Then those Vassels will get Knights to live in the land to train. After that those knights are too busy so they need someone to cook and clean their houses so then the people who do these things are called Serfs, basically the lowest of the low.

SCRIPT:
We're not entirely sure who were he earliest inhabitants of the British isles but we do know that people from Spain and Portugal came to Britiain. After that, the Celts came to Britain. There were two groups of Celts, the Brythons that settled in Britain and the Gaels that settled in Ireland. After that, Julius Caesar from Rome quickly came to Britain and declared it conquered then he went back to France.The Romans ruled for 300 years. Then the Anglo Saxons came from Germany. After that, the Vikings came from Denmark and Norway. The Vikings and the Anglo-Saxons made an agreement that the Danes would rule in the East and North while the Saxons would continue to rule in the South.

KENNINGS

Kennings~~~~~A kenning is a group of fancy words used to describe a word instead of just using the word itself. It is a more interesting and fun way to describe words because then the readers can try to imagine what we're trying to say. It's a type of metaphor style that they used a lot in old English.

KENNINGS

• A teacher ------------------Educational director ~ Because the teacher is the one who is in charge of the class and giving you the proper education you need.
• A bus driver ---------------Travel chauffeur ~ Because the bus driver can help take you different places.
• A computer -------------Knowledge consultant ~ Because if you want to find out about anything you can look it up on the computer.
• Love--------------------The Ultimate treasure ~the most valuable thing in life.
• Bombs-------------Destroyer of Life ~ because it takes away people's lives

Kennings I made

• Tears from heaven----------------------rain ~ because it falls down from the sky.
• Protector of rain--------------------- ~ because it helps protect you from the rain so you won't get wet.
  umbrella
• Giver of wisdom--------------------God ~ God is the only one who can give you true wisdom.
