Primary 3/4 School Trip to Stirling Castle

Primary 3/4 have been learning all about castles and were able to visit Stirling Castle to learn more. This was the perfect opportunity to combine both the castle and the circus themes that they have explored this year. The first part of the day was set by the children as they led the way around the castle exploring the grounds and getting involved in some interactive learning.  After lunch, they had a guided tour by their very own court jester who also taught them some circus skills.
