Hi
I am planning to have a castle theme to the first week after half term. I have started to gather resources and ideas but know that, as usual, there are some fab ideas and activities which you will be able to add! (For age range is 3-5 yr olds),
Thanks folks!

oops posted in wrong place- sorry!

Writing invitations for a ball, making shields and swords, lots of roleplay, links to fairy tales with castles in. Making castles with construction. Should be a lovely theme!

Oooh thanks, you've just inspired me to invite parents to a 'feasting in the hall'!! With the children dressed up in knights/maidens costumes with photos and work created in the week on display.

Knew you'd have great ideas!
