KS1 headed off to Hylton Castle this week to learn more about castles for their topic ‘King of the Castle’.

We learned about the armour a knight would wear and had the chance to hold chainmail so we could see how heavy it was. Our tour around the castle showed us how people used to live in the castle. We found out what they cooked to eat, who lived in the castle and even how they went to the toilet!

We even had a turn in the stocks but nobody threw rotten fruit or fish at us!
