On Monday, our Year 2 children stepped back in time to Mediaeval Britain for our highly anticipated Castles Day.
In the morning, the children were greeted by the Lord of the castle and very quickly became fully immersed in the narrative. They learnt about life in a castle through a combination of practical activities, such as candle-making, weaving and leather work, as well as engaging in drama and role-play activities.
For the afternoon session, the children prepared a mediaeval feast, with a variety of entertainment including dancing, singing, jesters & jugglers, jousting (on hobby horses) and authentic mediaeval dining.
It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to deepen their understanding of our IPC topic while developing their imagination and enthusiasm for learning.
