Norwich Castle ‘Ancient Civilisations’ Trip – Friday 21st November

We all took a trip to Norwich. It was a sensational experience which we all enjoyed and won’t forget! After we sat down in the auditorium and found out about the day, we took on our first activity which was learning about how they used to farm in ancient civilisations. We learnt about how ancient people developed their farms, the figuring out of irrigation, and using tools such as the sickle and quern stone. Next, we learnt about writing. We practised an ancient writing technique called ‘cuneiform’, which was developed in the ancient Sumerian civilisation. It was fun and interesting! 

After lunch, we learnt about philosophy where we were presented with different situations. One of the situations was Theseus’s rocket ship. When he crashed, he changed some of the pieces and we had to philosophise over where the rocket was still his. Finally, we did building. We built cities in groups out of wooden blocks which was fun! We all had a great time. Thank you teachers for taking us on this lovely school trip.
