We enjoyed a visit to Dean Castle Country Park this week to learn about knights and castles. Our tour of the castle took us from the keep to the dungeon, the battlements to the courtyard (shh… we weren’t up on the roof.)

After our tour, we took part in some expressive art activities. We created our own medieval creatures and shields for each class. The shields featured something about each person in the group. Then we took part in some drama activities, discovering what it would be like to be a knight.
