Castles
In September/October, we studied the topic of ‘Castles’. In Literacy, we read fantasy fiction and fractured fairytales. In Numeracy, we also constructed a castle and played ‘Battlefields’ to practise our co-ordinates. This also linked to ‘Our Queen’ topic in World Around Us. We celebrated the Queen, who became the longest reigning monarch on 10th September 2015.
The grand finale was ‘Banquet Day’. All the pupils dressed in Medieval Costumes, ate Medieval-style and KS1 acted out their fractured fairytale play, ‘Cinderella Bigfoot’.
We used our senses to describe a character – Zog the dragon
