Knights and Castles: A Spotlight on Year 1's Legendary Projects

This half term, our Year 1 pupils have been exploring the fascinating world of castles and knights. As part of their History learning journey, they have delved into the different features of castles, the roles of knights, and the legendary figure of King Arthur. To bring their topic to life, the children were given a home learning project, allowing them to showcase their knowledge and creativity.

We have been amazed by the incredible projects that have been brought in! From detailed models of castles, complete with moats and drawbridges, to hand-crafted knights’ armour – each project is a reflection of the effort our pupils have put into their learning.

Key learning from this half term:

• The features of a castle, such as moats, portcullises, and towers.
• The life and times of King Arthur.
• Who lived in castles and the various roles they played.

We are proud to showcase some of these wonderful creations below. Well done, Year 1!
