Last week Year 2 visited Mountfitchet Castle, near Stansted, as part of our History topic on William the Conqueror. Today we followed this up in school with Castle Day!
The children came to school dressed up as Medieval knights, princes and princesses. They learned about how Norman castles were constructed and how they kept enemies out.
During
the afternoon we had a Lego castle-building competition. The children worked in small groups to build a castle that included some important features, such as a drawbridge and a moat.
