This term has seen the children studying the theme 'Kings and Queens'.

The theme started with the children all designing and making their own crowns.  Lots of jewels and gold were used to produce some spectacular crowns.  The children all dressed up and posed for their own royal portrait.

We then studied the story of King Arthur.  The children designed their own story boards and then performed their play about how Arthur became king.

Our next stop on our learning journey was 1066 and the Battle of Hastings.  The children examined pictures of the Bayeux Tapestry to look for clues about what happened.  They found lots of differences between the Normans and the English armies.

After half term the children moved onto James I and the story of Guy Fawkes.  We produced some really effective art.

One afternoon the children all became court jesters as they were curious of how royalty was entertained. We all tried telling jokes and juggling which was very tricky but very entertaining.

At the moment we are looking at the current royal family.  We have found out the names of the Queen's children and grandchildren and have managed to draw a family tree.  We drew our own family tree as well.
