As the children seemed to be continually asking for the castle and knights to be brought out, we thought that we should make our own castle. The children all did a great job of printing the bricks to make the castle walls. They even made the door and the bird cage that some afternoon children wanted. Now the children would like some extra decoration on the walls so thank you to those who are bringing in all the foil, sweetie papers, pompoms etc to make this into a special castle. As you can see they have been busy sticking it on and the castle is beginning to change each Nursery session.
Some of the boys decided at the end of term that they would also like a cannon outside their castle “to keep the baddies out” so Finlay drew the design and explained how cannons work. This week some of the design team have been up to Primary 6 to borrow their construction materials to help us build our cannon. This is still work in progress but Miss Kerr and a small team of morning children are working hard on this project. Jack had a great idea and brought his tools from home to help so hopefully our castle should soon have its own cannon.
Thanks must go to those parents who are supporting us and the children by sending in materials. We all appreciate your efforts.
I have had great fun watching this castle take shape.It is a great place to hide and have fun.I loved helping mum look through our crafts box to find lots of bits and pieces for the castle.I got to do alot of glueing which i fair enjoyed hope we can do another huge creation soon.PLEASE!!!!!! A VERY HAPPY CHILD.
The cannon! Jack has been enthralled by this and by getting to work with the big ones on such a tricky build! As a parent it is lovely coming to pick your child up after a session and they have so much to tell because so much has been going on! Thank you, Caroline Vivers
Theo has been very excited about the cannon, it`s great to see the outcome. Thank you Rachel Stott
