Let’s Explore Castles and Knights | a learning journal

The Let’s Explore Castles and Knights learning journal has been designed to suit a range of ages and learning styles.

It is incredibly flexible and is great for home educators who have more than one child at home because you can all use the same project together but adapt the activities for each child (in fact the child adapts their own activities).

Just some of the things you’ll learn about:

🏛 the features of a motte and bailey castle.

📍 the Bayeux Tapestry

⛓ castle defences

🕯 Medieval time keeping

🏰 castles around the world

🤴 Coat of Arms

👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 a family

😖 disgusting medieval jobs

🍗 a castle feast

😂 the role of a Jester

…and lots more (50+ pages)!

For each of our learning journals, you’ll need a good book to use alongside. This is our preferred method of learning because I believe that teaching a child how to find information is more important than memorising answers. It also offers opportunities to talk about reliable sources of information.
