The Tower of London

On Wednesday 28th November 2012 the Rabbits went on a trip to The Tower of London.
It was a long journey there and back, but it was fun and we were allowed to watch two films!
When we got there we saw so many excting things. For some of us it was our first ever visit to London!
Take a look at some of our photos.....


Henry VIII's armour



We hope these weren't the heads of people Henry VIII cut off!


 There was loads to see. Here is a phhoto of the biggest set of armour ever made, next to one of the smallest. We thought it would be very scary to meet the man who was wearing this.








 We thought this dragon was fantastic.

There was a visitor eating all of the gunpowder!

Play us a tune Joe!


We learned about weapons that used to be used in battle and what they were used for.


Cameron and Callum found out what it was like to wear a suit of armour.



 Here is where we saw The Crown Jewels. They were brilliant, but we were not allowed to take photographs inside.

 We really liked the Ravens and we found out their names by looking at their tags on their ankles.
They liked to steal food though and hopped off with James' crisps!
 It was soon time for lunch...




We met a Tudor man who told us all about Henry VIII's wives. Henry wasn't always very kind to them.

On the way home our bus driver took us on a free tour of London! We saw The Houses of Parliamnt, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, 10 Downing Street and The London Eye. It was brilliant, because most of them were lit up with Christmas lights.

Remember Remember the 5th November...

Finally we found out who Robert Catesby really is. Turns out he's friends with Guy Fawkes and along with 11 other men, 36 barrels of gunpowder and a rented cellar under the Houses of Parliament, they tried to blow King James up! Poor Guy came to an unfortunate end when he was hung, drawn and quartered, Robert didn't survive either. Take a look at some of our work. Please leave us a comment.

Quicksticks Hockey

The year 4s enjoyed a brilliant afternoon run by the Sports Leaders from Diss High School. The afternoon was a great success and all the children had the chance to play in a competitive game. Well done year 4s you played fantastically! Special thanks to the Sports Leaders who made the event possible today.
