Literacy - Poetry Trail
Explore the Castle and grounds while searching for lines of poetry. Gather them together and see if you can put them in the right order and complete the poem.
Numeracy
Measuring, counting, frequency, tallies, and symmetry, all of these can be done on a visit to the Castle. Use clues to explore the estate, make up numeracy trails and problems to solve. Estimate the height of the towers, measure the length of the walls, use Pythagoras’s theory.
Science and Geography
Take time to put fieldwork and enquiry skills in to practice. Identify plants and mini-beasts. Why not do a ‘mirror walk’ and see all the things you normally miss. View the tree canopy, as you’ve never seen it before.
Art
Create a mini-beast. Collect leaves and twigs and see what you can identify, or let your imagination take over.
