Year 6 had an exciting trip to the Tower of London, where they took part in a hands-on workshop about pirate prisoners. The children enjoyed learning about infamous historical figures and the stories behind the Tower’s fascinating past. It was a day full of fun, exploration, and discovery!
This exciting trip supported the Key Stage 2 history curriculum by bringing lessons to life, helping children understand significant historical events and figures. The experience deepened their understanding of historical sources and gave them a memorable way to connect with Britain’s fascinating history.
