Our mini topic this week is Castles! 

Parts of the Castle

The document below will help you learn all about the different parts of a castle. Gather up some junk materials at home, such as cereal boxes and milk cartoons and try to make your very own castle. I would love to see the results! 

Send me some pictures at lcunningham778@2ken.net.

Knights

Open the document called Information on Knights' Armour to learn all about them and what they wear. 

You could also watch this video https://youtu.be/Lf4k-s9sXwA

Afterwards try to label the picture of the Knight. You could then use the  split pin activity to make your own Knight. You could just glue the pieces together if you don't have any split pins. 

Why don't you try some of these activities too!!
