The song will be learnt by all

Children make their knight’s pledge
What is a pledge? How should a modern knight
behave? Who do you think can be a knight?Do you
think knights could exist nowadays?What attitudes
do you think a knight can have today?
These were some of the questions children had to ans-
wer in a questionaire which was presented to them .
From the answers pledges and honour codes were to be
made from all schools.
In Poland the pledges were presented and the schools
filmed the children taking the pledge, promising to be
good and faithful, to be honoust and fair to eachother
and listen to their teachers and parents.
Every school made their own pledge and choldren
went to work to make the rules for the honourcodes.
These will be presented later in the project.
