Warwick Castle

Yesterday, we had the most amazing day at Warwick Castle. When we first arrived we headed up the towers and did the rampart walk. Some of us were nervous about climbing all those spiral stairs and getting to the top. But we were very proud of ourselves and it was a great sense of achievement and relief when we got to the bottom of the last tower.

Next was the maze. We collected our 'Time Passport' and set about finding the six periods of history and collected a stamp from each one.

We had a giggle taking these photos and finding out some interesting facts about the Gunpowder Plot.

After we had collected our prize, we then headed to meet the bowman.

He was very entertaining and told us lots about medieval warfare. We really enjoyed watching him try and hit the target. He made it look much easier than it actually is.

Whilst we had our lunch we watched the amazing Falconer's Quest Birds of Prey display. It was quite a spectacle and having the birds fly just above our heads was such a fantastic experience.

Before we got back on the coach we went to the Princess Tower and met a princess who told us a story about a prince who had been frozen in time. We had to help her uncover the clue, find the missing cogs to operate the clock and free the prince. It was a happy ending as the prince and princess were reunited and were finally married.

I think it's safe to say that we had the most amazing day at Warwick Castle and some of us were sad to leave. But hopefully we have created some super memories to treasure and share with our families.
