Portchester Castle Trip – Years 1 & 2

On Wednesday 7th October we went to Portchester Castle.  We are studying dungeons and dragons and we wanted to see a real castle with real dungeons. We got on the coach and it took us 40 minutes to get there. It was hot on the coach and we had to turn on the fans. My partner was Micah, and my partner was Poppy.  We went to the entrance of the castle which was a ginormous gate and there was a guard standing in front of the gate. He had a sword and some armour and he looked quite scary. We had to ask him if we could enter he said ‘Only if you are quiet.’ When we got into the castle we dressed up as the King and Queen and servants, this was fun.  We then explored the castle going on a hunt to find flags. On the hunt we saw the toilets. The toilets were just a hole in the wall, it was disgusting!  We had a great time, thank you. Miss Wood said that we were very good ambassadors for the school and thanked us for our enthusiasm and behaviour.
