Freeman Community Primary School

As part of our topic ‘Once upon a time’ we will visit a local castle and we will explore features of castles and forms of medieval attack and defence. We will also learn about our local history. In learning about our country’s significant history, we will learn about William the Conqueror and The Battle of Hastings 1066. This will include making and sewing our very own Bayeux tapestry in textiles. In Art we will look at the artist Paul Klee and we will recreate his picture ‘Castle and the Sun’. We will also learn about the history of the Royal family and write our very own letters to the Queen. We hope that she’ll write back! In DT we will also design and make our own trebuchets with moving mechanisms and we will also make food for our very own medieval banquet.

Have a look at our topic poster to see what else we will be learning about in other subjects!
