en garde!

Today we went on a field trip to Donnington Le Heath, a small manor house now owned by leicestershire county council that once belonged to one of the men involved in the gunpowder plot. Today's session was all about the gunpowder plot and life in stuart england. There were costumed characters to talk about different aspects of life and needless to say sam most enjoyed the talk by the two soldiers. This is him brandishing a sword-don't worry it isn't real!

Hi there! I was going to recommend someone to your blog-but it's not on the Early Year list anymore. She wanted info on the Young Scientist club. Can I give her your blog address?
