Year four’s and Year two’s went trip to Norwich castle .
Before we went to Norwich castle we were happy and nervous. On
Wednesday 6th January 2016 at the castle we were learning about
Egyptian and Roman objects.
We met a person called Jenni. She let us touch Egyptian things. There
were necklaces, rings and an earring. Also we went to the Egyptian
gallery and we saw a mummy with the top off. The shabti was buried
with the mummy. They put their lungs and other things into canopic
jars. In the Egyptian gallery someone counted over 80 scarab beetles and
over 90 Eyes of Horus! In the same gallery I saw lots of colourful
jewellery. I really enjoyed handling old objects.
We handled Roman objects too. We handled a poo stick, oil scraper,
Roman sandal, roof tile, Samion pottery and a wax tablet. It was really
fun. We also went to the Boudicca room where we saw a chariot ride
game. There was a farm set and there were 77 animals in the farm set.
We put on a toga. The togas were really comfortable. There was also a
colouring set. There were also some old handcuffs.
We also went to the animal gallery and bird gallery. It was a lovely day
at the castle.
