Year 6 trip to Highclere Castle

Last Friday year six were treated to a fantastic trip to Highclere Castle, near Newbury. We had a wonderful day, even though the weather was not so wonderful!

Firstly, we explored Highclere's Secret Garden, complete with hedge tunnels, grape vines and ancient fig trees.

Once inside the castle, we watched an informative video all about the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. We were also lucky enough to view actual artefacts from Ancient Egypt, discovered by the Earl of Carnarvon and Howard Carter. Finally, we visited the 'hands-on' room, where we could dress up and create pieces of artwork.
