Constructing medieval structures!
An interest that has sparked this week is knights & castles. This
interest came from one child sharing his ‘Me, my family, my world’ book.
“I’ve drawn a castle and that’s me with a shield.”

Aaron
After sharing this interest, several other children
wanted to join Aaron in our discovery area to explore this further.
Together we documented what we thought castles looked like & then researched
using media and materials (books) to investigate the
properties of a castle.
"I am drawing a door for the soldiers to get into."
Ethan
"I'm going to draw the drawbridge." Faris
This interest continued into the afternoon, the boys were
very keen in creating resources to extend their learning.
Together, the boys researched using Google images to find
the appropriate shield for them. Aaron observed
that most shields have a cross in the middle.
"I can't wait to use my shield." Aaron
"I'm trying to make a bow and arrow, if I wrap this string around here it will keep it together." Reuben
What a fun-filled, exciting week we have had!
