Now we have finished all of our castle jobs we have been able to finish the feudal system in a castle – we hated being servants but loved being kings and queens.
KS1 Harvest festival
Thank you so much for everyone’s donations for our KS1 harvest festival. KS1 did a fab job presenting the assembly and all staff are so proud of their speaking skills! Especially for some of the Y1’s where it was their first time.
Handwriting
Crew Marsh getting smart in their handwriting lessons.
Part whole model
This week we have been introduced to the part whole model in maths. We have got really good at knowing that 2 parts make 1 whole one.
Kings and Queens
We loved finishing our castle jobs by pretending to be Kings and Queens after making our crown we got to do our favourite two things – watch bluey and eat a biscuit.
Gardeners
Today we have experienced our 5th job in a castle, it was being the castle gardener. We loved planting our pea seed and we cannot wait to see them grow!
Messengers
Today we have been messengers, we learnt that they had an important job of sharing messages to different parts of the land. We shared our message from the Battle of Hastings to the Carcroft castle.
Being cooks
In crew Marsh we are experiencing all the different jobs you might find in a castle. We have been cooks, we decorated biscuits for the King and Queen. What a Friday afternoon treat!
Candlemakers
We have experienced our second castle job today, luckily it was better than being a servant. We were candle makers and we each made our own candle.
Building our own castles
We became designers in our expedition lesson. We followed Miss Marsh’s instructions carefully to make our castles, then once they were finished we tested their strength using tennis balls.
We came to the conclusion that paper is not a suitable material for a castle and that stone is better because it is much stronger to withstand an attack from an enemy.
