I just wanted to say thank you for inviting me along on the School trip to Newcastle Keep on Friday. The trip was brilliant! 

 The guides on the trip who took us around the castle telling stories and re-enacting storming the gate were so engaging and the children loved it.

Also the banquet was a great way to bring history to life!  The day was a great answer to the question of why we study history- human empathy, sense of identity, understanding your perspective and your own place in the world and its timeline. These reasons are just so important to young people today more than ever and we really got a sense of these themes on the trip. 

 Thank you again for letting me be part of this lovely day with everyone,
