Hello everyone! Today we’re going to get building. Can you find a space in your house or garden to build a castle?You could use any large boxes left over from Christmas, or use cushions and blankets.

Does your castle have a draw bridge? Is there a password to get in? Does it have towers? Windows? Are you protecting something inside? What is your castle called?

Can you make paper cones or flags for the top? Can you use a torch to make shadows on your castle wall?

Send us a picture of your castle to share with everyone in the news tomorrow – please do not send photos with children’s faces in them, as these are not used on the website.

Today’s story is read by Maria, we hope you enjoy it.

 Learning points: When we construct we are problem solving, making connections, understanding and being inquisitive, and exercising our STEM skills. Happy building!
