Castle Homework Sheet

Dear Parents,
Your child is to make a castle at home using any
materials you have on hand. For example: tin foil, toilet
rolls, construction paper, toothpicks, paint, silver tape,
cups, and boxes.

Here is a list of vocabulary words we have studied in

class. Id like to have the words put on the parts of the
castle. Make big labels for each student to have.

1. Moat- trench around the castle filled with water to

keep people out
2. Towers-on corners of outside walls
3. Turret-small tower on a larger tower used as a lookout
post
4. Gatehouse-protected entrance to a castle
5. Drawbridge-bridge lowered so a person could cross the
moat
6. Portcullis-large grill door.
7. Wall walk-top of outside walls where soldiers stand to
defend the castle
8. Keep-inside the castle walls where the family lives
9. Bailey-land enclosed by the outside walls
10. Flag-represents the family and is on the castle towers

Your child will have a week to complete this.
