Trying on period costumes
Sir Teachalot brought some fascinating costumes for us to try on. Each piece of armour would have been warn by different armies.

We learnt that each army had their own crest, like the lions on this shield. This helped soldiers to identify each other because they could not see their faces when they wore the helmets.

We used a trebuchet to destroy the castle. We learnt that this was how enemies attacked castles.
Year 2 had a fantastic day when we were visited by Sir Teachalot!
