We found some very old and unusual clothes in our nature area. Why were they there? How did they end up in our school? Where were they from? Who had left them? Was somebody coming back for them? Lots of questions to ask but what do we do next?
We looked at the clothes and decided that they must belong to a knight in shining armour. The children then wrote 'Missing' posters to see if anyone in school had seen him. We visited every class to share our news in the hope that someone had seen the missing knight but sadly nobody had.

Sir Jay, the knight, sent us a video.
IMG_5886.mp4We went into Castle overdrive and changed our role play area into Castell Cwmlai.
Sir Jay thanked us for finding his clothes and invited us to visit his castle in Cardiff. We couldn't wait to visit.
We had a wonderful time exploring the castle and its grounds. We learnt lots of new information about what life was like in Medieval times and our most favourite place out of the whole trip was the Dungeon! This is where we ate our lunch.
Sir Jay was amazing, showing us all his body armour, knives, swords and helmets worn over the different centuries and telling us many tales of old. Thank you Sir Jay.
The children enjoyed creating and building their own castles out of 3d blocks. They were able to name the various parts of their castles that protect them from the enemy.
They also enjoyed drawing their castles on the class whiteboard using 2d shapes. They were also able to name the shapes.
