Year 2 (Class 6) - History - Skipton Castle School Trip

Class 6 had an amazing time at Skipton Castle or (sheep town castle) as it was formally known. 

We learnt all about the history of the castle, from the Clifford Family who were the Lord and Lady who lived in it, to Mr Mason, Mr Cook, Mr Carpenter who helped build and work in the castle. 

We learnt where the drawbridge, moat and portcullis used to be along with the murder hole. We saw the long drop, kitchens and bedrooms, learnt how to dip arrows before firing them through the arrow slits and learnt how dark the dungeon really is. 

After lunch we drew the castle in the sunshine and tested our knowledge completing the Skipton Castle booklet. 

A day enjoyed by all.
