Towers, Tunnels and Turrets!

Greetings, from the Year 2 Castle.  Step back in time through the thick curtain walls to find out about our learning and admire the beautiful work we have created. So far in our topic, the children have experienced virtual tours of different castles from around the UK, identified the different parts of a castle as well as learn about the importance of Coats of Arms.  We found out that the reason they were introduced was so that during battle it helped knights and soldiers to tell apart their friends from the enemy.  Pictures and colours were used rather than words as not many people could read so it made it easier to recognise others.  The children created their own Coats of Arms using a range of symbols and images that were important to them.  They look really fantastic, well done Year 2!
