Our topic is about castles in Scotland. We will be learning about castles and ruins. We want to find out about when the first castles in Scotland were built, who lived in the castles, how people built castles long ago and why were castles built.

We are planning to build a castle with the P1C class. We are going to use cardboard boxes to make a big and strong castle for P1C! We will need to sponge paint the boxes. We will be kind and helpful to the P1 pupils.

We have been drawing pictures of different castles. We have learnt about two different kind of castles. They were called a Motte and Bailey castle and a Stone Keep castle.

Please see our topic questions below. If you have any suggestions or information that would help us to answer our questions please let us know.
