Cardiff Castle

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!
