Have you ever been to a real life castle?
Posted: Oct 10, 2017 by: Year 4 (Year 4) on: Year 4's Blog
Having a fantastic site like Conisbrough Castle on our doorstep is invaluable. Especially when we are studying medieval realms and the castles. To further our learning, and to see first-hand what we've been studying for the last five weeks, we visited Conisbrough castle. While we were there, we sketched the ruins of the bailey, imagined what the castle would have looked like using a over head plan, spotted key aspects of what makes up a castle and looked at the artefact timeline in the museum. We also took part in the 'Tales of the Keep' workshop and explored the ancient castle from the inside! A spectacular day that will influence our ongoing topic work!
