P4B Forest School Castles 🏰

20th Jan 2026
This week during Forest School, the children enjoyed an outdoor castle-building activity using wooden blocks. The class was split into two teams and worked together to design and build their own castles.

The challenge was to construct parts of the castle as high as their shoulders, which encouraged careful planning, balance, and problem-solving. The children communicated their ideas, took turns, and showed great teamwork, especially when towers needed rebuilding.
