The children in year 4 went on a fantastic trip to Conisbrough Castle this week to support their understanding about Norman castles. The children all had a tour of the castle to help them understand parts of a castle and why they were built in Norman times. They learnt some of the history of the castle and also took part in a fantastic workshop. The children dressed up as different characters and had to explore different artefacts to make predictions about what type of job that person would have done in Norman times. They then had to place the people in order of their social standings in Norman times and how some of the artefacts supported their judgements. It was a really interesting trip and the children really enjoyed it. Well done year 4.
