Day 4

Right now Amy is shooting, our blogger is blogging! And Amy(the video maker) is doing a very good job, SO FAR SO GOOD! Barron Aurelie is still doing very well at her job. Her and our main designer are working on the castle it has taken time but is in progress. We all know what we have to do, and we are very organised. The castle is now nearly finished. Except we need to paint it. We had a little bit of trouble about the cans we brought in but we worked with it and made sure it was a brilliant master piece after all. Eventhough we have only 2 lessons left, i'm very sure everything will be done and ready for presenting. Fingers crossed!

Day 3

Everyone is enjoying the project! In our group everything is going well the castle is being created by all of us in the group. The video is still shooting and its going very well. The only thing we are having problems with is not being able to talk to anyone due to the fact that the Barron (Aurelie) is the only member of the team that is aloud to talk to the king (we are only aloud to talk to our team members).
Today, we has nearly all of the lesson without Barron Aurelie but before she left she made sure that each and everyone of us had a job to do whilst she was gone. And that is exactly what we did!

The Pendennis Castle

The castle is in Falmouth, Cornwall. It was the mightiest fortress ever built by Henry VIII. he used it to defend his country again war. It has been used in many conflicts and was also used in the last English Civil War.

Some of the wars which occured in the Pendennis Castle?

In the Second World War Pendennis Castle was the command centre for Cornwall.

The war in the Napoleon in France from 1793-1815 and throughout both world wars in the 20th century

Some facts about the castle

it was constructed in the middle of the 16th century.
charles II and his mum queen henrietta stayed there until 1646. The castle first began as a tall tower and then a new defensive wall was built around it in 1598.

Inside the castle

In the basement you can find a kitchen and working your way up the stairs you can find a replica of different guns. on the top floor you can see sights of what happened in war during the tudor and stuart period.

Rachel,Milli,Ellie,Jenni and Pippa's Caldicot Castle

Our project for history is on Caldicot Castle. We chose this castle because we found it very interesting and it looked easy to make. We knew a lot about it already because I live in Caldicot and have been there many times, my house backs onto the castle grounds.

The castle is really good because it is still intact and all the rooms are furnished how they would have been when the castle was first built.

It is built in beautiful grounds with lush green grass all around with a pond inside and a cannon in the middle of the grounds.There is a moat all around the castle but has no water in it now. The castle is open daily to the public and it is in a brilliant spot for tourists because there is a park opposite where the children play and have picnics so they can just pop along after eating to look inside. The castle also holds regular banquets where you have a meal with no knives or forks and some people are picked  before the meal to be King and Queen.

In the summer they do lots of activities in the castle and also hold medieval battles.
 
The castle is said to be haunted by the ''Grey Lady'' who people have claimed to have seen.

We made our castle out of lots of cardboard, green sticky tape for the grass and sand for the paths, we painted it a mud brown colour and made a brochure and a video about the castle, it was great fun!!!!!!!!!!   
 
Here are some photos:
