MEDIEVAL CASTLE GRADE FOUR PROJECT IDEAS



Grade four starts on September 1st, and the project of the year is usually to make a medieval castle. We knew this was the case when we visited Borgo Medievale in Turin. These pictures were from that visit, and may inspire another amazing castle. Here are the ideas my daughter has so far.



Drawbridge with chains guarded by 2 petshop cats and lego person walking through the rounded door! Blue moat with back of a crocodile showing in green scales. Brick walls - craft paper. Turets from paper towel rolls - 2 halves and one whole with lego figure sitting on tallest holding a flag.


Motifs - fleur de lys, white diamonds


Decorate walls with "cat head" shapes - square topped with quarter circle forming M on top 

2 Fountains. Grass and hay and water fountain for horses.
Garden with apple tree and linear gutters to carry water (irrigation system)
