A Knight to Remember: Y5 at the Royal Armories

Year 5 had an absolutely thrilling day at the Royal Armories in Leeds! We stepped back in time to explore magnificent collections of armor, shields, and ancient weapons. The highlight was definitely seeing the full-sized jousting figures and the shining suits of armor worn by knights centuries ago.

We saw huge cannons and learned about battlefield tactics. It was incredible to think about the history held in those objects. We particularly enjoyed the live demonstration where an expert showed us greek weapons and armor. It was an exciting, hands-on history lesson that brought the medieval period to life!
