As part of this term in Year 4, we had the privilege of visiting Tamworth Castle this week. This tied in perfectly with our topic work in History exploring the Anglo Saxons, Battle of Hastings and castles, as well as our Just Read text called ‘Anglo Saxon Boy’. During our visit, we were able to visit the heights of the castle tower and the depths of the dungeons. We even had the opportunity to act out historic battle drills, replicating the movements and actions that soldiers would perform.
