Castle trip

We had so much fun on our trip to Norwich Castle.  We learnt all about life in a castle and how to prepare for a joust.  Lady Isabella, Jack the rat catcher, Maud and Helena told us stories, did craft with us and let us sort and try on thinks that real knights would have worn.

 Maud told us a story about a green man.

 We learnt about how the toilets worked in a castle and that people wiped their bottom on a piece of sponge soaked in vinegar that they put back in the bucket for the next person to use!!

 Jack the rat catcher told us all about the feasts in a castle and that their pigs in blankets weren't like ours as theirs would be a whole pig wrapped in bacon!!

 Helena let us try on knights armor and we helped her to sort the items she had left lying around into castle or knight!

 Then we got to explore the exhibitions.  Our favourite was the animals!
