Here are some photographs from our fantantastic trip to Portchester Castle.
We had to curtsy and bow when the King received his crown.
Our King and Queen.
The pigeons lived in the castle walls.
We learnt about how the castle was defended.
The archer would use a long bow.
Entering the castle through the portcullis.
Outside the keep.

The spiral stairway.
What was your favourite memory of our trip?
What did you learn about Portchester Castle?
That looked like a super trip, Year 4. Did you learn anything about the spiral staircase? I know an interesting fact about why most spiral staircases corkscrew in a clockwise direction (if you're at the bottom looking up) or anti-clockwise (if you're at the top looking down). Can anyone guess why they were built like this? Have a guess...
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous trip year 4. Great to hear you are still doing lots of brilliant learning.
