Maple Class Trip to Hever Castle

We went to Hever Castle as part of our ‘Once Upon a Time’ learning journey. What a fantastic way to end our term!

After our first trip in a minibus together, the children started their day with a visit to the castle, feeding ducks in the moat along the way.

They learned about Anne Boylen, who was a child at the castle. She then grew up to become a queen by marrying King Henry 8th.

The spiral staircases were fun!

The children saw lots of fish in the moat and conquered the maze, without getting too lost!

They wandered the formal gardens, spotting fountains, waterfalls and signs of spring. They bravely crossed a stream over stepping stones and spent a fantastic time in the adventure playground.

Such great friendships, risk taking, challenges, being brave and having a lot of fun together.
