Castles!

In our History class, we have begun discussing, and moving into the time period of the feudal system and the prominent use of castles.  The class was split into houses, and began by researching different castle types and designs. After they had agreed upon a castle design, they began drawing blue prints of how they wanted the castle laid out. It was a great opportunity for them to learn about mathematical measurements, and the drawing of blueprints.  They turned their measurements into the head engineer (myself), and I cut styrofoam to their specifications.  They colored land and moats, and erected their outer walls this week, as is seen in the pictures.
