Acrostic Poetry by P3/4
C astles
A re made for defence and are
S afe for some people like Lords
T he first castles were Motte and Bailey and
L ances are long stick-like weapons that you charge with
E dinburgh Castle is one of the least ruined castles
S words, axes and shields were used.
by Max
C astles are where we live
A nd where we attack our enemy’s
S ee through all our windows
T he buddies are coming
L ead them to the dungeons
E at in our great hall
S lam the door behind us and lock it.
by Ruby H
C ourtyards inner and outer the castle
A ttacking castles a lot
S o many castles
T o attack
L ots ruined
E ven stone castles ruined
S ame people invaded castles.
by Daniel
C astles use to be made out of wood
A rmour was the same so they had coats of arms
S ervants, blacksmiths and knights all lived in a castle
T the castle had a well so they could collect water
L iving in a castle sometimes was tough
E very lord and lady wanted a castle.
by Paige
C astles are sometimes dark
A nd they have rooms in them
S omtimes they have pictures on the walls
T things are kept in them
L ike swords and silver armour
E ven animals were in them too.

Vincent Van Gogh’s painting ‘Sunflowers’, was the inspiration for our artwork.
We have been learning about different styles of art. This still life is in a ‘Fauvist’ style. Fauvism was the first new artistic style of the 20th century and when it was first shown in a Paris art gallery, the contrast to traditional art was so striking that a critic described the artists as ‘Les Fauves’ (wild beasts). Fauves believed that colour and a strong pattern were more important than being realistic.
