On Thursday both p2 classes visited Stirling Castle. We really enjoyed our day. We were all able to look around the castle and identify the parts of the castle we have learned about like the portcullis, the battlements and the curtain wall. We enjoyed exploring the castle vaults where we got to play some medieval musical instruments, dress up in medieval clothing, learn how dyes for clothing were made and see a court jester. It was also great to see the Stirling Heads in real life too, we thought they looked great!
After lunch we had a special workshop with a lady called Kirsten. We visited the palace bedrooms and the kitchens and we had a chance to play around with some knight’s armour and weapons.
We talked about what we enjoyed the most:
Teighan, Spencer, Tanatswa, Alfie and Kiara all liked dressing up.
Campbell, Jess, Kay, Joshua, Euan and Miles all liked being able to play with the weapons.
Denholm enjoyed everything because it was the first time he had visited a castle.
Alex liked meeting the Queen’s lady in waiting.
Amy liked visiting the kitchens and seeing what they ate in medieval times.
Sofiye liked seeing the real Stirling Heads.
Gemma liked going into the vaults and being able to touch things from the past.

A reminder that p2 shared start is on Wednesday 25th March at 8.55am.

Have a good weekend!
