4th Class were learning about the Normans and built a Norman castle. We became stonemasons, roughmasons, freemasons and labourers and focused on the construction of different areas. We had to figure out how to pull the portcullis up and down, find a way to lower the drawbridge, and build the wall to make it stay upright. After we designed and built our castle and bailey we wrote scripts and created Stop Motion animations. We made medieval people using different materials and used the sets to create scenes. We took pictures, recorded audio, added sound effects and titles using iMovie. Watch our videos to find out what’s happening back in Norman times!
