Thursday 1st October  - Alnwick castle 

Willow Class had a wonderful day visiting Alnwick Castle, bringing their learning about castles to life. The children took part in an exciting workshop where they learned about storming the Barbican, explored the different defensive features of a castle and acted out what an invasion by the Scots may have been like. They also discovered more about the Percy family and explored the State Rooms before touring the castle grounds and learning about its impressive defences. The children particularly enjoyed the Artisan Courtyard and completing the Knight’s Quest. The visit was a fantastic opportunity to build on their classroom learning while exploring such an important local landmark.
