Ecole Moody middle students will cap off their Middle Ages studies this spring with a trip to the Sherwood Forest.
Next week, 42 teens at the School of the Arts will appear in Robin Hood and Friends, a musical tale about the popular English folk figure from the late-medieval period.
It features Grade 8 students Topaz Duchesneav and Megan Odenwald as Robin Hood and Maid Marian and Josie Davies, Grade 6, as Will Scarlet.
Teacher Jane Ono said she and some parents helped to stitch up the costumes for the production, which runs at the Port Moody school from May 12 to 14.
And, before each show, students will be on hand to present their Middle Ages artwork such as pottery, tapestries and weaving as well as shields, helmets and miniature castles and catapults.
Earlier in the day, the school pods will also host student-only medieval feasts that will be catered by the "serfs," Ono said.
Principal Trevor Kolkea said the school's inquiry into the Middle Ages this season took them downtown, where students toured Vancouver Biennale art installations and worked with artists.
Tickets for Robin Hood and Friends are $8/$4 at the school door (3115 St. John's St.) on show nights at 7 p.m. Call 604-461-7384.
