On Thursday 17th September
we visited Cardiff Castle as part of our topic work entitled Long ago
and Far Away. We saw the Birds of Prey as we walked around the castle
grounds. After we ate our lunch the keeper brought out the barn owl
and Eagle owl for some exercise and we were able to sit and watch
them fly very close to us!
On our tour of the castle we saw many rooms including the nursery,
library and banqueting room where not so long ago Barack Obama, the
Queen and other important people sat to eat a meal. Some people even
have their wedding breakfast in there! All the rooms were brightly
decorated and our guide told us all about the pictures and animals
painted on the walls.
Finally we had a
storytelling session with a man called Dyfed. We made our own version
of Cinderella and he recorded our voices and will be putting it onto
a CD and sending it to us in the near future.
As it was such sunny
day we ate our lunch outside on the picnic benches. The whole day was
great fun!
