The Year 1 and year 2 children have been learning all about castles this half term. The children therefore thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Warwick Castle this week where they could experience a life in a castle first-hand.

We climbed up some spiral steps to get a better view of the bailey, tower and arrow loops that protected the soldiers from their enemies. We found out about the armour that was worn by soldiers and horses in battle. We also went into the grand bedrooms to see how the king and his family lived. The children loved to see the features of a castle in real life!
