Summer 1
Our trip to Nottingham Castle
Today we took a trip to Nottingham Castle to review our learning from last half term. We had SO much fun learning all about the history of the castle, visiting the art gallery and the rebellion gallery as well as learning all about Robin Hood in the Robin Hood experience. We finished our amazing trip by visiting the new castle play park which was so much fun.
