What an awesome day at the castle. We travelled by train, learnt so much and a funshop not a workshop the class said! Diolch yn fawr iawn! @cardiff_castle @HEADMPS @Mae5ySchool

We completed our thoughts on our trip to Cardiff Castle in our floor books. We researched the footage of the handover of the castle to the people of Cardiff in 1947. @HEADMPS @Mae5ySchool @cardiff_castle @EAS_LLCEnglish

Dosbarth Miss Welsh / Mrs Morgan had a fabulous time at Cardiff Castle today. Their behaviour was a credit to the school as they learnt about knights from Sir Jay. We listened carefully on our tour of the house, learning all about the Bute family.

Dosbarth Tydfil had a wonderful informative trip to Cardiff Castle. We explored the Castle and discovered loads of new information about Conflict and WWII. #cardiffcastle
