Well done to Ellis for taking the time to make a fantastic bright pink Barbie style Castle. We will add it to all the other castles in the classroom.

Today in ICT we looked at a picture by Claude Monet.

Our first task of this project was to find out some things about Monet by using the Internet to search about him.

Rebecca and Charlotte found out that Monet’s mum died when he was 16.

Saul found out that Monet died in 1926 and is buried in Giveny.

Max found out that Monet was 86 when he died.

Meischa and Declyn found out that Monet was born on 14th November 1840

Ellen and Emma found out that Claude Monet is the most famous painter in the history of art and his full name is Oscar Claude Monet.

What a great idea! One of our P3 children visited Edinburgh Castle over the February break and then his mummy helped him make a scrapbook to show what they saw and learned. This will be very interesting for the other boys and girls to read. Thank you!

Well done for taking the time at home to make a castle with your family. I like the shiny blue paper you used for the moat and you have a working drawbridge to let people cross your moat. I’m very impressed!

Well done to Declan, Jack and Jay from P3 for working together to make a lego chocolate tube like the one in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. They even included lego Oompa Loompas!

Well done Ryan for making a castle for our classroom – another one to add to our collection! I like your working drawbridge, Scottish flags, and pictures of Robert the Bruce and William Wallace – great detail Ryan.

Well done to Laura for making a castle and using resources from home to make turrets and flags.
Well done to Shuan for making a castle at home with turrets you can take on and off and for having a working drawbridge.

Well done to those children who took the time to make a caslte over the February holiday. Well done especially to those who made a working drawbridge or added crenellations. Keep up the good work!

How long did it take to built castles in medieval times and what would people have used a windlass for? The first person to share their answer with the class (on the blog or in class) will win a prize!

Charlotte made a big castle from a cardboard box with her mum. Charlotte used sticky stars and glitter glue to decorate her castle. There are turrets and even a drawbridge and balcony on the castle. P3 were very impressed with Charlottes super castle. Well done!
