VISIT TO STIRLING CASTLE
by Primaries 1/2S, 2G & 2/3D Dunblane Primary School
On 31st January 2014, three of our classes visited Stirling Castle as part of their Scottish historical topic on “Castles,” hoping to find the answers to their questions and to learn how to examine and use historical evidence to help them in their quest.
They learned about life in a castle as a servant or as a king or queen and were able to make comparisons with their own way of life. Some of the children got the chance to practise bowing to the queen with the help of one of the castle’s staff in costume.
Andrew Stevenson, P2 wrote - “First I went to the Great Hall. I sat on the throne. I drew a picture of the hall then we went to the palace, the kitchens then the vaults. I loved the Jester room. In the kitchens a man looked like he was giving us a pie. I drew a picture then we went to the museum.”
Ellen Bartie, P2 wrote – “When I went to Stirling Castle, I saw the Great Hall and it was big! We saw the queen’s bed. It was beautiful. We went to the Lion’s Den. We found out the answers to our questions. We dressed up in clothes from the olden days. We saw a funny jester and it made us laugh! We designed our own jester on the computer and it was funny! We wrote things in our books.”
Victoria Murphy P3 wrote – “We went to the Queen’s garden at the castle. It was massive and there were still plants growing in the garden. Then we looked down at the view.
It was a long
drop. I saw cars, trucks, mountains and lots of trees. Then we went through a door. It led to a cannon. We walked on and saw a masterpiece of the castle.”
