Turrets and Tiaras

Our fantastic and colourful workshop (sometimes known as ‘Knights, Castles and Princesses’) is designed for Key Stage 1, and involves lots of dressing up, role play, games and fabulous medieval artefacts!

We bring a huge castle into the school six metres wide, with working drawbridge and portcullis.

Children learn about life in a castle by acting out jobs and duties, such as carrying a bucket of water, dressing a princess, being a soldier, acting as a squire, and learning to dance.

We dress up the entire class for our St George Knight School activity, learning about medieval knights and our patron saint. Then children contribute ideas, names and items to our unique legend, such as hero, Knight, Princess, Dungeon, Tower, Treasure, Monster… Let their imagination flow!

If you wish we can bring our grand finale of the Dragon Queen and a unique fire-breathing dragon.
