It was a glorious sunny day, when the children in Prep 5 travelled back almost one thousand years in time and visited Mountfitchet Castle in Stansted.
Here, they experienced first-hand what life was like for people living in a medieval Motte and Bailey Castle. The children thoroughly enjoyed roaming through the reconstructed Norman village, w
andering in and out of the many houses, complete with real burning log fires, and were very excited to explore the Castle.
They also loved meeting the tame fallow deer and other rescued animals which roamed freely throughout the Castle grounds.
