What an action packed term we have ahead of us!
Over the last week the children have thoroughly enjoyed planning our new topic about castles. They have planned for and are currently making a castle for our role play corner. The children will be able to develop their knowledge and understanding of what life was like living in a castle. We will be finding out about several castles in Wales, and later in the term hope to visit Caerphilly Castle.
The children are extremely excited about learning many aspects of castles. We will keep you informed about the all the fun activities we do on our class blog, however, I'm sure the children will keep you updated and enthralled at home with all the new things they are learning and experiencing!
Some of the things we have already been making are; Knight's weapons using meccano, making figures of Kings, Knights and Queens for our small world castle and moat, using 2D shapes to draw castles and making crowns for our class reward system. The children have also been learning the names and places of some important castles in Wales and labelling the main features of castles!
If you have any specialised knowledge or resources you would like to share with the children please pop in to let me know.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs Bailey
