Castle Trail Planning

By Project Leader Roja, age 9

We went to the Castle and we started to choose what we wanted to put in our trail. We split in to 3 groups, editors, historians and artists. The historians wrote down the facts and the editors improved it if necessary. The artists drew the pictures that are going to be in the trail. Then lastly we discussed what our opening blurb would be, the editors had already written something so we discussed where it needed improving. 

Re-cap after Half Term

By Project Leader Harmony

When we met Roxanne at school the Secret 12 sorted out what order the buildings should go in from oldest to newest. Then we sorted out which buildings each one of us should have, I have the Forum, which is the newest building in the trail! I'm glad.

The Secret 12's Adventure Continues...

The Secret 12 have now finished their visits and are working hard to make a trail for the public to follow their adventure, it will be available in the Tourist Information Office and all Norwich 12 venues from 20th July 2012. See how they get on with the trail design, layout, text, pictures and the planning to take their entire school round the trail and present their journey in an assembly of their own making. Its going to a busy half term! They even get to meet the mayor at the end.

The Forum

By Project Leader Harmony

The Forum was our last place to visit, because it is the newest. We saw the memorial library with little toy planes, a big quilt in the Library and we watched a film on the big screen and we saw how the light gets around the big pillars. We even explored in the car park where there are places to charge cars. A man called Richard took us around, he was very nice.

St Andrews and Blackfriars Halls

First we went in to a big hall and there were lots of beautiful windows, one was from the original building, monks used to sing in here. We also went to the crypt where monks slept and the cloister where they were quiet and prayed.

Norwich Cathedral

10th May by Project Leader David, age 8

Today we went to Norwich Cathedral. First we saw some amazing peregrine falcons nesting and looked through the telescopes. Next Rod took inside to a little green meadow where the monks from long ago are buried and the press photographed us! Then we saw a stood up grave of Thomas Gooding, finally we voted for our object, and then we went back to school....
