Year 2's new topic about castles.


Would you like to live in a castle?
To launch Year 2’s topic about castles they firstly discussed in their talk trios what they knew about castles and then they ‘voted with their feet’ whether they would like to live in one.  (They will vote again at the end of the topic to see if they have changed their mind).


yes
maybe
No
Then Year 2 went back in time to medieval England to look at castles.  In the immersion room they looked at photographs of castles that still remain today.  They met some of the people who lived in a castle such as a Lord, a knight and a blacksmith.  The visitors talked about their role in the castle and they answered the children’s questions.

Back in the classroom the children painted the different people who lived in the castle.
