As part of our visit to Caerphilly Castle the children will be role playing a medieval banquet. They will have an opportunity to discuss their thoughts on table manners and behaviour from last week's talk home work. We briefly discussed this last week and all the children were able to contribute their ideas, so well done boys and girls!
Continuing the theme of manners and behaviour, this week I would like the children to talk about appropriate behaviour at historical places in readiness for our castle trip. Please discuss:
Safety and Dangers
- the importance of keeping to the designated paths around the castle
- walking sensibly - no running
- uneven stone paths
- climbing or leaning over walls or fences
- muddy and slippery areas
- walking near the moat is not allowed
- noise level - no shouting
- respecting other visitors including fishermen
- respecting and not feeding the wildlife
- stay with the group and adult they are assigned to at all times
- putting litter in the bin
- remember to say please, thank you and excuse me
We will have a tour guide who has some wonderful activities planned for the children, they involve dressing up and re-enacting historical events around the castle!
More details about the trip will follow in a letter.
