Shields & Coats of Arms
In preparation for our Medieval Pageant a lot of children in school made shields.
Here are Year 4 hard at work on theirs.
You can also see some of the hats that Year 4 have made in preparation for the Medieval Pageant.
Finished! In the display behind the
children are some Coats of Arms
they designed and painted.
As part of their topic about
Medieval York, Year 4
looked at Heraldry and
designed their own
Coats of Arms using
a computer programme.
They then scaled them up
and produced these fantastic
painted versions.
These are the shields made by
Year 5. They researched the different shapes that are found on shields as well
as the meanings of the different symbols.
They chose images to put on their shields that reflected their own character
or family.
Year 6 created some magnificent Medieval Coats of Arms.
They first made a shield which was mounted on card.
Images were added of things that they felt reflected their individual personality.
Finally they researched Latin Mottos that were connected to their family name.
