Year 2 have had a cracking time at Newcastle Castle today! In the morning we had a tour of the castle, including the Black Gate and the Keep. We even got to climb the 99 stairs to the roof! In the afternoon we did a Castles and Courts workshop, where we made medieval food from playdoh. We were shocked to learn that in medieval times people are purple carrots. Finally we dressed up and re-enacted a banquet and someone tried to poison the king! The children really enjoyed the activities and got so much out of it. Well done Year 2.
