Year Four’s Trip to the Castle
When year four arrived at school on Wednesday 6th January everyone
felt happy. Our leader at the castle was Jenni. Our teachers were Mrs
Newton, Mrs Diaper, Mrs Fiddy and Miss Maibaum.
Egyptians
We held animal amulets, god and goddess amulets, Make up pots,
jewellery, Shabti and scarab in the handling session. In the Egyptian
gallery we saw two mummies and the mummies were covered in 3 miles
of bandage. We had to find scarab beetles and eyes of Horus. We handled
a canopic jar that you put your organs in when you make a mummy.
They used eyeliner a lot so they used make up pots to put make up in.
We went in the Egyptian gallery and we saw two mummies. There were
also ring that looked quiet colourful.
Romans
We held some samian pottery, roof tile and mosaic tiles also wall
painting plaster. In the Boudicca gallery there are loads of farm animals
and we counted 77 animals. We also all went on the chariot ride. Some
of us did the coin rubbing. We also got to dress up in togas.
Other galleries
We also went in the Natural History Gallery and we saw all different
pictures in the art gallery.
Conclusion
We had a fun time at the castle and I recommend you go to the castle.
