Year 1 Jump Back in Time at Hever Castle

On Tuesday, Year 1 had a great day out visiting Hever Castle to reinforce our learning about castles as part of our big question ‘What makes our island special?’ The children were fascinated to see all the features of a castle in real life and enjoyed exploring different rooms inside the castle and even bumping into Anne Boleyn! We learned more about the castles defences and had fun making our own mini catapults to fire ‘missiles’ to attack a castle.  To round off a busy day the children were able to navigate their way to the middle of the maze without getting too lost and we all returned to school tired and happy.  Well done to all the children for their super behaviour and for impressing all the guides and helpers at the castle, who commented on how knowledgeable and enthusiastic they were.
