My Home is My Castle
In this exciting topic, we’ll explore where we live today and compare it to life in a medieval castle long ago. We’ll discover why castles were built, who lived in them, and how they were designed to keep people safe. Using maps and globes, we’ll locate castles across the UK and learn about our own local area.

We’ll dive into stories set in castles and write our own descriptions and fact files. In Art and DT, we’ll sketch castle features and design and build our own model castles with towers, turrets, and drawbridges! From exploring strong stone walls to imagining life inside, this topic will help us understand how times have changed—and what makes a castle truly fit for a king or queen.
