Curtain Wall with Battlements

Moat

Drawbridge

• Hopefully, you will leave your drawbridge open so that I can cross the moat and enter the castle!

Gatehouse

• The first building I will enter is the gatehouse.

Portcullis

• Hopefully, you leave the portcullis up so that I can enter the gatehouse!

Murder Holes• Once inside the

gatehouse, I will be sure to look up! I will need to watch out for the holes in the ceiling from which you drop harmful substances down on me! These substances might include rocks, arrows, scalding water, hot sand, quicklime, tar, or boiling oil!

Bailey• As I exit the

gatehouse, I’ll step into the bailey. This is much like Valor’s courtyard between the 5th and 6th grade classes. Here’s where the siege turns into a battle…

Keep
