As part of our Knights, Castles and Dragons topic, P3A have been learning all about different castle features.
Today, we looked into the defence materials and machinery that were often used to defend castles against enemies. We learnt all about Catapults which were known as Trebuchet during medieval times.
After this, we had a go at making our own Mini Catapults using only lollipop sticks, elastic bands, a bottle lid and PVA glue.
Pupils worked so hard with their partner to create a working catapult and each pair achieved success!
Have a look at the fun we had creating our very own mini catapults this afternoon:
