We had a fantastic trip to Stirling Castle last Wednesday. We saw the King and Queen’s bedchambers and learnt that the king didn’t actually sleep in his, he slept in a small room elsewhere. In the Queen’s bedchamber we met a Jester how told us lots about the Queen and some of us got the chance to try juggling.

We had a look at the cannons and had a picnic lunch next to them.

In the Great Hall we all had the chance to sit on the King and Queen’s thrones and all sat round the top table together.

We went into one of the towers and looked down through a trap door to see where the dungeons would have been below.

There was an area where we could explore some medieval costumes, music, games and painting, solving problems in groups.

We had a great time looking for all the things we had been learning about in class – there were lots of shouts on the bus up of ‘battlements’ when they were spotted!

We saw and learnt much more but you’ll have to wait until our showcase to find out!

Have a look at our photos to give you some clues!
