Good Morning, Reception.

Yesterday, we were learning about the story of St. George.

St George was a brave knight and knights live in castles.

You can find out more about castles here: https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/learn/histories/medieval-castles/

Today’s challenge: Can you design and build a castle for St. George?

First, think about what you will make it out of.

Then, draw and label your design.

Finally, build your castle.

I can’t wait to see your finished products.

Love from Miss Siswick.

  2. Good morning Miss.

    Sophia enjoyed today’s task.We have uploaded picture to the school blog.

  3. Miss Siswick says:

    Well done, Sophia. I especially like the flags on the towers on your design. What did you build your castle out of? I would love to see it.

  4. Miss Siswick says:

    Well done, Madeleine. I love the way you have used sticks to create the structure for your castle. It must have been tricky to get the sticks to stand up like that.

  5. Dear Miss Siswick I sent the Castle design

    Well done, Maya. I wonder what you will use to build it?

  7. Miss Siswick says:

    Hello, Amber. Please can you send your photo again? I have two of James but none of you!

  10. Miss Siswick says:

    I love your castle, Amber. I especially like the way that you have used triangles to create the turrets. Well done.

  11. Hi. I enjoyed making a castle out of Lego.
    My castle even has an obstacle course.
    It has a alarm and a weapon.
    It’s a English and Scottish castle!
    I like Ruby-Mae’s colourful castle!
    Typed by Marcus!

    We’ve uploaded photos of the design and build. The project overran lunch so Marcus is now very hungry!

  12. Miss Siswick says:

    Well done, Marcus. Your labelled design is so clear and I love your finished castle. I like the flags. Maybe St. Andrew lives there with St. George!

  13. Ms O'Connell says:

    Well done everyone enjoyed seeing your work!

  14. Miss Siswick says:

    Well done, Juliana. I love your castle with all of the St. George flags. What did you use to make it? It looks like a sandcastle but I can’t be sure!

  15. Miss Siswick says:

    Well done, Ryan. I loved your design and your finished castle. They look so similar but I think you added an extra tower. Am I right?

  16. Yes that was my Mummy’s idea but I think I like it better without it.

  17. Miss Siswick says:

    I am glad that Mummy had fun helping you to build it!

  18. Thank you Miss Siswick, my castle is made of cardboard 🙂

  19. Miss Siswick says:

    Sorry! I can see that now!

  20. Miss Siswick says:

    Well done, Moses. You look so proud of your castle. I especially like the guards and the special gate that comes down. I think that’s called a portcullis.

  21. Miss Siswick says:

    Well done, Sybille. I love the way your castle is so big that you can get in it! I hope you have fun in there.

  25. Miss Siswick says:

    Your castle is so detailed, James. I love the gate and the turrets. Well done.
