"Where a castle was raised a town began."

My daughter worked with the two youngest boys, helping them put together all the things they have learned about castles... and sand castle making. Building Towers
Building Walls
The youngest decided to add a stable within the castle walls...
which showed that he understood that a castle includes a small town within its walls...
and not just the keep within.

All they need now is some catapults.

My daughter has also been busy making chessmen for the boys. They have learned how to move the pawns, and the rooks, and the kings, so she has made them those pieces.
Each week as we focus on a piece at a time, she will make them... until eventually they will have a complete set.
