As part of their topic, Towers, Tunnels and Turrets, Year 2 visited Warwick Castle. During the trip, they had the opportunity to explore the castle grounds, experiencing some of the things theyâd learnt about like the portcullis, the arrow slits, the battlements and the trebuchet that was used to defend the castle.
They also got to see the wonderful Christmas decorations and lights that are up at this time of the year. As well as this, they found the odd peacock wondering around which was fun to see! 
Inside the castle, they saw lots of weaponry and armour that was used in battles. As part of their day they also had a kingmaker tour, where they learnt about castle life and jobs that were available in a castle. They learnt that many of the people who had jobs in the castle would only be paid 1p a week!
What an exciting day, Year 2!
