Classe de CE1 et CE2 travaillent sur le moyen âge:
The Lady and the Unicorn is often considered one of the greatest works of art of the Middle Ages in Europe. Five of the tapestries are commonly interpreted as depicting the five senses – taste, hearing, sight, smell, and touch. The sixth displays the words "À mon seul désir". This tapestry's meaning is obscure, but is commonly considered as representing love or understanding.

Students
were assigned to work in groups of 8 to reproduce one of the tapestries
using felt. They did an outstanding job putting all the elements
together, especially because using a glue gun was a challenge at times.
- Taste
The
lady is taking sweets from a dish held by a maidservant. The lion and
the unicorn are both standing on their hind legs reaching up to pennants
that frame the lady on either side. The monkey is at her feet, eating
one of the sweetmeats.
À Mon Seul Désir
The lady stands in front of a tent, across the top of which is written "À Mon Seul Désir",
an obscure motto, variously interpretable as "by my will alone". Her
maidservant stands to the right, holding open a chest. The lady is
placing the necklace into the chest.
