Topic

Knights and Castles

Our topic this term is 'Knights and Castles', within which the we will use the Battle of Hastings as a stimulus to unpick the lives of the Knights and the history of Castles. We will investigate the importance of Knights and Castles and take part in a workshop to enhance our knowledge. We will take part in fun interactive activities which will allow us to understand the life of a Knight in 1066. We will research facts about the different types of Castles, locating them and finding out about their specialities. We will build our own castles and make our swords and shields after understanding what importance these things had in the past. After completing our unit of work, the Year 2 classroom will become a castle within which the Knights of Year 2 will role play a day in the life of Knights, preparing for a battle.
