Spring 1 - Castles

We had a fantastic term looking at castles and visiting Lincoln Castle on our school trip.

We learnt about the Battle of Hastings and why Normans built castles, then looked at how they changed from wooden structures into stronger stone castles.

We looked at what weapons and strategies were used to defend and attack castles and decided what we would do if we were Normans. Then we looked at different roles in the castle and had our banquet in the classroom.

Autumn 1 - Memory Box

This half term we have looked at past and present, and how life was different for people living in the past.

We looked at how toys, schools and homes have changed. To understand how homes have changed, we looked in detail at Mrs Smith's cottage and what the artefacts showed us.

We then looked at our own past, and what we were like when we were a baby, when we are three and now. We also looked at how the toys we play with have changed.

Our last challenge was to make a family tree, with ourselves, our siblings, our parents and grandparents on.
