As part of an introduction to our new class novel - "Ella Enchanted" by Gail Carson Levine, the students took on the role of chefs and created amazingly colourful (and very sugary sweet!) castle cakes. The book is set in Medieval times and so after researching castles and all things enchanted, I thought this would be a really fun activity to do, as well as a yummy treat to end the day with!
Ella Enchanted is an exciting and thrilling novel about Ella of Frell, a cursed girl at birth that has to obey every single command that she receives. It is a similar, but more gripping story than the old fairy tale of Cinderella.
Ella thrives in adventures with ogres, gnomes, elves, her wicked family, and Lucinda the fairy, who laid the curse of obedience on her in the first place. Overcoming all the hard tasks, she manages to break and lift her curse once and for all. She finally finds the blessing in the simple key of true love.
Above are collages of the students hard at work, their wonderful creations and then a great photo of the kids eating their castles whilst being read aloud to by our wonderful Headmaster, Mr. Cook! What a fun day we had!
