Well, all the snow melted over the last two days, and we all thought that things were going to be a bit boring after the Winter Sports mayhem we'd all enjoyed. But when we got to school, Mrs Ewe announced that, because the snow had all cleared up we would now be able to go on a school trip. Mrs Ewe wouldn't tell us where we were going so as not to spoil the surprise.You can imagine how excited we all were when the coach stopped, and out of the windows we could see a real life castle!
Mrs Ewe led us up to the castle gate and told us some things about the history, but to be honest we all just wanted to climb up the towers and run around the battlements pretending to be knights and damsels in distress. So Mrs Ewe sent us off to let off steam, and she said we could do some history later.
After we had completed our mad half hour, I went down to have a look at the castle walls in more detail from the outside. After a few minutes, we met up with Endeavour Mouse, who was wondering along waving a very odd contraption just above the grass. I asked him what what its was, and he said it was a metal detector, and they are used for finding things hidden under the grass. He said that he was working in a team who search for hidden things to find out more about the past. So now we are going to meet the rest of the team to find out how to "dig for history".
