During the Spring Term, Year 1 embarked on an exciting learning topic and educational journey into the world of castles. They learnt all about the different parts of a castle and discussed what life was like during the medieval times. All the pupils enjoyed making their own family Coat of Arms shield.
1R treated Years 3-8 to a fascinating assembly which included facts about castles and some medieval drumming. All the pupils held up their Coat of Arms shield for the audience to see.
At the end of term, pupils consolidated their knowledge with an exciting visit to Mountfitchet Castle and Norman Village. The historic site is steeped in history and dates back to the Roman and Saxon times. The visit brought all of their topic work to life.
Year 1 celebrated the end of them with a mediaeval banquet in the dining room. Their Coat of Arms hung on the wall as they toasted a successful term of learning!
