Well done Billy for your fantastic model making. I praise how you selected the equipment, how you measured the pieces and how you constructed it together.

Expert Engineers

27th November 2024Mrs Lewis

Today as part of our expedition, ‘Rags to Riches: What lies Within the Castle Walls?’, the children in KS1 enjoyed meeting our expert Mr Mitchell who taught the children about levers. We have been learning about how castles were defended and attacked and our expert showed the children how to make catapults. The children had great fun launching their payload of pom-poms!

Thank you for coming in to help us Mr Mitchell!

1CR in the woods!

14th November 2024Mr Pickering

1CR had a brilliant time in the woods. We learnt about different rich and poor roles in a castle and then did activities linked to some of these jobs. We were builders to begin with when we built a wooden fort and then we tested our defences against flour bombs. Then we were Knights. We created our own armour design and then tested our accuracy at throwing missiles. After dinner we were cooks. We made a simple medieval vegetable soup and then made our own piece of flat bread to eat with it. Later, we used the campfire to cook some caramelised apple and then a marshmallow smore! To end the day, we had a flour bomb battle to burn off all of our extra energy! We had a great day!

1CU Take a Trip to the Woods!

8th November 2024Kathleen Cunningham

This week, 1CU had the opportunity to visit Sandall Beat Woods and learn all about life in the past as part of our expedition From Rags to Riches. We made a shelter that became our medieval castle, created our own knight armour out of recycled milk bottles and even experienced cooking stew and bread over an open fire! Then we got to put our armour to the test in our very own battle with flour bombs to see which team would be made the champions!

The children had the best time and are still talking about all the fun they had at the end of the week!
