In March Year 1 had an actioned packed day at Windsor Castle. We had a look around St George’s chapel to see where previous Kings and Queens were buried, including Queen Elizabeth ll and Henry Vlll.

We were then lucky enough to watch the changing of the guard with the Irish Guard’s regiment accompanying on drums and bagpipes. Next it was off to see the King’s state apartments and give him a wave as children noticed the royal standard flying on top of the castle!

The children attended a workshop all about King Charles, where the children were knighted, coronated and even had a dress inspection. Inside the castle, children were able to see Queen Mary’s doll’s house and spot a famous painting of King Charles l. They were also excited to see the
very grand banqueting hall and throne room. The children were beautifully behaved, interested in everything and were very knowledgeable about all things royal.

Well done Year 1.
