A trip back to the very old Norwich Castle for Year 5, to learn about the even older Ancient Civilisations!

“Our trip to Norwich Castle was great! We learned about Ancient Civilisations and more. First, we learned about how to farm and that we need ‘irrigation’ for our plants to grow. Next we learnt about ‘old time’ writing and that if we didn’t have writing, it would be HORRIBLE. Then we learnt about philosophy and putting forward our point of view. Then, we did building. We learnt how to make an arched bridge with – and for a challenge – without support. Finally, we had to plan and make an ancient city with bricks, thinking about where to put crops and different buildings. There was 16 in our group so it was a challenge!”

Thanks to everyone at Norwich Castle for a really great experience and to the Friends of Browick Road Primary and Nursery School for funding our coach ride there!
