# What a fantastic day Year 1 had on our trip to Clitheroe Castle!

  ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-aidan-s-primary-school/images/news/01102025_195034_c064be382382.jpg)   1 October 2025

What a fantastic day Year 1 had on our trip to Clitheroe Castle!

We kicked off the day by exploring the parts of a castle and even had a go at building our own with sand. Then, we toured Clitheroe Castle itself, discussing different defensive strategies and how we would protect ourselves!

The afternoon was packed with adventure: we learned all about dragons and got to practice our swordsmanship. After listening to a great story about the castle's past, the highlight came—earning our very own Dragon Licenses!

A huge well done to Year 1! Your fantastic behaviour and enthusiasm meant you got the most out of every minute. We'll be bringing everything we've learned back to school to continue our Castles topic in History, directly contributing to our vision of "Fulfilling potential and growing in God."
