For history in year 1, we have been learning about Motte and Bailey Castles. For one of our lessons, we created a Motte and Bailey castle together. We created a Motte with a keep on top, a Bailey for the workers, a drawbridge to guard and a moat to go around the castle. The children had different roles in the castle such as being soldiers, cooks, farmers, cleaners, blacksmiths and most importantly a queen to protect and serve! We also had some visitors and pulled down the drawbridge once the queen gave her permission!
