At Hollywood this week we have been continuing learning all about castles. P3 and 4 made a humongous castle in the classroom for the role play corner. P1 and 2 made castle pictures using paper, and our cutting and tearing skills, with Mr. Parkhouse. We have also started building some castles outside – with sandstone!! They are going to be big enough for people to fit in. We have been working in 3 groups – hopefully enemy castles won’t attack us. We now know lots of facts about castles. Zak has learned that there were 2 different types of motte and bailey. Ethan learned that they had to build castles by hand. Logan knows they didn’t have any flushing toilets! Hayden learned that the servants in the castle didn’t even get baths – they had to go in the river!
We are excited about making shields and swords next week, and maybe finishing our castles. We are also going to visit a real life castle.
