The medieval market also offers colorful entertainment: fire-breathers, jugglers, music and medieval dance performances. Visitors can also forge their own sword or play roulette with a live mouse. “It’s the most impressive Christmas market I have ever seen in Germany. I like the historic setting since it per- fectly matches the medieval theme of the market which truly takes visitors back in time,” Morales said. “It’s also interesting to see people wearing the traditional period cos- tumes. The vendors are coming from all over Europe and that’s great to ex- perience as well,” he added. People who lived during the Middle Ages also had a penchant for eating. Therefore, visitors will find a variety of food ranging from hearty meat dishes, brats and soups to orien- tal, organic and vegetarian delicacies. For dessert, they can try a baked apple covered in vanilla sauce with raisins and nuts. “I really like the delicious ‘medi- eval hot pockets’ filled with bacon and cheese,” Morales said. The typical medieval honey wine, or “Met,” an alcoholic drink made out of honey, water, fruit juices, spicy herbs and yeast — also known as “vi- king’s blood” — is served in clay mugs. People who are still not warmed up after drinking this medieval brew can stop by the bathing house, for a hot bath in a wooden tub.

Oreo Stacking Competition

Grace Sartor looks on as Kaylie Restrepo watches to see if her Oreo tower will fall. 4th graders at BEMS participated in the International Oreo Stacking Competition. The results of their math project will be added to the international data bank.

Photo by Daniel L’Esperance All fourth graders at BEMS and the fifth grade gifted classroom students par- ticipated in the International Oreo Chal- lenge. Students stacked, graphed their results, and sent their data to be added to the results from the hundreds of other schools around the world. The data will be published in the upcoming middle school newspaper. In the picture, 5th grader, Jayda Dickinson, concentrates on her stack of Oreos in her attempt to best the record of twenty-four cookies before crashing! The fifth graders also conducted a massive observational survey in hopes of charting and graphing their classmates’ favorite techniques of eating an Oreo cookie. How do you eat yours?

Each time capsule includes a letter to themselves as an adult. letters from parents and other family members, photographs, favorite toy, and many other personal treasures. Each student will be able to travel back in time when they turn thirty! Page 20 The Citizen, November 13, 2014
