I visited the fourth grade class at WCA today, wearing mail and a knight&#8217;s helmet. The fourth grade studies medieval Europe and their teacher and I thought they would enjoy seeing real armor. The chain mail is actually pretty fine and was made for protecting divers from small sharks. It&#8217;s close enough for this purpose, though. The helmet, which is quite heavy, is more authentic and is pretty impressive. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d visit a fourth grade class without that sort of protection.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to talking about knights and armor, I showed pictures of castles and told them about many of the design features. Most of the pictures were of English castles, because I know those so much better than those from France or the rest of Europe but there were a few in Germany and Hungary included. I think the kids enjoyed it and learned something. I know I had a good time.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to Steve for letting me borrow his armor for this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not a big selfie-taker but I thought you might enjoy this.
