The children found clothes in the nature area that they believed belonged to a knight in shining armour! We searched around the school but couldn't find him anywhere. The children then decided to draw and write 'Missing' posters and posted these around the school in the hope that we would find the knight and return his clothes to him.
We had a lovely day visiting Cardiff Castle. The children met a 'real' knight in shining Armour. His name was Sir Jay.
Back in school the children were asked what they remembered about their trip. Most of them wrote about Sir Jay.
The children wrote thank you letters to Sir Jay for showing them around the castle and explaining what castle life was like a long time ago.
The children drew a picture of a castle. They chose one feature that protects a castle from the enemy and wrote about it.
We looked at Wales and located 4 castles, one in the South, one in the West and 2 up in the North of Wales. Locating these castles certainly helped the children understand why they were positioned at the top of hills and mountains or on the coastal regions.
We drew our own castles and labelled the various features that protect it from the enemy
The children thought about the life of a King or Queen in Medieval times and wrote their own ideas of what they would do if they were King or Queen for a day
The children had been learning about the properties of 2d shapes. They found drawing them quite difficult. However, they did a great job on drawing their own castles using 2d shapes.
The children had read the story of Cinderella. They wrote their own invitations to the Ball and posted them in the postbox. The postman was collecting them at 10.00 o'clock.
After the story of Cinderella the children measured their feet. They also compared their feet to the superheroes.
The children found worms in the builders tray. They were able to compare their size and order them from smallest to largest.
We learned of the Welsh fable, Twm Sion Cati. He was the Welsh version of Robin Hood, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor.
We likened hin to The Highway Rat, by Julia Donaldson, one of our favourite authors.
