At St Thomas, we believe in bringing learning to life through making the most of our beautiful city and through visiting different locations in the U.K. Classes 1 and 2 have been learning about castles and were very fortunate to find out about Hereford Castle, thanks to local historian, Bill Laws. Not only did Bill spend time answering questions and teaching them about the castle but he also joined the class on a visit to Castle Green. To add to this great experience, children in Classes 1 and 2 visited Warwick Castle. At STC all visits are always subsidised for all children. Every child climbed to the top of the tower, they found the portcullis, turrets, tower and more. The children learnt about the past, how people lived and how they had to defend themselves from invasion. We were very proud of all of the children, their manners, their great questions and enthusiasm for learning. Both Bill and the staff at Warwick Castle commented on how well the children represented our school.
