Beowulf

Kyle did his first ever oral report at our homeschool co-op on Monday. The topic is Beowulf. Here it is, along with what he was saying (below the video). He did a great job! (Sorry about some of the extra noise. There was another child crinkling some paper that was recorded.)

Beowulf

I’m going to tell you about Beowulf. It is not a real story, but one written by the Anglo Saxons. It’s one of the oldest stories that was written in English. Beowulf, the Hero, sailed from Ireland to Sarkland. Beowulf was a person in a story. He was a brave hero because there were monsters across the seas and he killed them. Beowulf sailed across the sea and fought this monster called Grendel. He pulled his arm off and Grendel ran into the water. He drowned and died. Beowulf faced Grendel naked – he didn’t wear any armor. He was a hero!

In case you were wondering, Kyle's face was painted blue because they were pretending to be the Celts.

Here's a picture of Erica's class dressed up like Celts! Erica is in the middle in front, with her pink shirt peeking out.
