This week, Primary 2/1 did some topic-based planning!
Miss McLaughlin gave us a set of clues and from these, we had to work out what our new topic theme was. Can you guess?
That’s right – we will be looking at castle life! Using the clues, we came up with an ‘I think…/I know…/I wonder…’ grid to help us shape our topic.
I think…
- Soldiers needed to protect castles.
- Knights needed to protect the king and queen.
- Knights were used to fight dragons.
- Horses were used to help protect the castle.
I know…
- That inside a castle there is a huge hall.
- That I have been to Balmoral Castle.
- That castles were built using stone and wood.
I wonder…
- How castles were built to be secure?
- If stone was used to build castle towers?
- Who lived in a castle?
- Where food came from in castle times?
- If castles were cold?
- How crowns were made and who would wear them?
Check in with us again to see what else we have been learning!
