A Visit from a Knight!

As part of our big question ‘What makes our island special?’ Year 1 have been learning all about castles and this week the children were thrilled to have a visit from a knight! They were able to have some exciting hands-on experience trying on different types of armour and costumes worn by archers as well as learning more about the structure of castles and their defence features. The children were able to fire bean bags from a trebuchet to knock down the castle they had built, and the highlight of the day was taking part in a pretend jousting competition!
