We learnt that long ago everyone was taught how to fight using swords as there were no police officers to keep us safe from harm so when people fought they used to do so using swords ! We were shown lots of different kinds of swords that were used long ago including a knight&#8217;s sword, a pirate&#8217;s sword and a long sword. \u00a0We even got to have a shot of holding them. \u00a0They were might heavy !<\/p>\n<p>We also got a shot at sparring with the practise swords. \u00a0We learnt how to stand properly, how to hold the sword in safe mode and how to keep ourselves safe whilst wearing the protective equipment. \u00a0A special thanks to Gordon from &#8216;Fencing is Fun&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>In the afternoon, we welcomed Nina from &#8216;Zumba Kids Nina&#8217;. \u00a0She showed us some cool moves and we danced the afternoon away with a dance off and other dances. \u00a0It was fantastico!
