Today our Year 2 class had a fantastic day out at Skipton Castle to launch their new History topic – “Castles and Dragons!” The children explored the castle grounds, learned about what life was like hundreds of years ago and even imagined where a dragon might have lived!

Afterwards, we enjoyed a lovely walk through Skipton Woods, taking in the autumn colours and spotting signs of nature along the way.

We are incredibly proud of all the children — their behaviour was exemplary throughout the day and three separate people commented on how polite, kind, and respectful they were.

Well done, Year 2! You are a credit to our school.
