Year 7 Historians have been working extremely hard this term on creating castles. In lessons we have studied the changing shape, design and features of castles, including ways in which castles were made more defensive. We then practiced attacking castles using a variety of methods introduced over the Medieval period.
Students were set the task of creating their own castle, using whatever means, methods and materials they wanted to use. The only limit was that the castle designed must be historically accurate, and show their understanding of castle shapes.
The variety and effort we saw from students was AMAZING – ranging from wooden castles to cake castles, all the way through to lego, clay and Minecraft castles!
Our overall winners were Jacob L (Best Baked Castles), Sophie J (Best Drawn Castle), Evan S (Best Computer Castle) and Lucie T (Best Constructed Castle).
Our Overall Winner for Best Castle in any category was Will S, who made an impressive Pez and icing sugar castle using 3372 pez sweets!
Many of the castles are on display in the main corridor.
