Sandi Castle Presentations
Attention: Grade 4 Teachers!
Master Sand sculptor Sandi “Castle”
Stirling has been educating and
entertaining Grade 4 students in the
Hamilton-Wentworth schools since 2002
with her exciting “Sandi Castle
Presentations”.
She has developed a fun and unique
way to introduce Medieval Times and/or
Rocks and Minerals to the students
through the use of visual displays,
videos, creative imagery and the
creation of a 3 foot Medieval looking
sand castle keep.
This fast paced information packed
presentation keeps the students
enthralled for 90 minutes.
While most of the focus of this
presentation is on sand, the class will be
introduced to different types of rocks and
minerals. Igneous, sedimentary and
metamorphic are discussed and
displayed along with samples of fossil
rocks from Lake Erie, coal from Atlantic
City Beach, lava from Hawaii and
soapstone from Brazil.
The class explores why some beaches
have stones on it while others have soft
sand and how beaches are formed.
Sandi shows how erosion from single
drops of water over a period of time can
break down a rock into sand.
In an entertaining way, she pulls
consumer products made from sand out
of a bag. She also identifies the many
uses of rocks in manufacturing.
Medieval Times Visual Arts Items needed for the Presentation
Sandi introduces the students to the
tools she uses to carve and to create
textures on her castle.
She gives the students ideas on what
tools they can use when at the beach or
in their sand box. During the
presentation, the class will watch a video
demonstrating the fine art of
sandsculpting at a beach.
During the final 20 minutes of her Sandi
Castle Presentation, Sandi carves a 3ft.
medieval looking castle-keep out of
sand. Parts of the castle are discussed
that relates to the part she is carving. A
question and answer period is held at
the time of the carve.

structures made from sand and how
vulnerable they are to the elements.
A good foundation is needed to hold the
force of sand. If not properly packed or
the wrong type of sand is used, the
structure may collapse.
