This week we have been very busy designing and building our own castles. We worked in small groups to gather our ideas and knowledge about the different features of castles. We used the ‘Make Do’ to build our castles, they look fantastic! We really enjoyed having our parents and carers visiting our classroom to help us with the construction. We were also researching different jobs within a castle and completing applications forms for the jobs that we would have liked to have done. In addition, we were learning about various weapons that would have been used in castles.

This week we were learning about tinting in Art. We created backgrounds using tinting before creating  a silhouette of a castle. The children also thought about the features of a castle when creating their design. The children enjoyed this learning experience and their finished artwork looks great!

This week we have been working on different balances as part of gymnastics in PE. We has a great time working with our partners to come up with different balances.
