Archaeology Trip
First, we started our day by going on the bus for 45 minutes to 1 hour it was long. Then we got off the bus and then we walked to a Church. We went to the loo and got ready to walk to the dig site. When we got to the dig site, it was on a steep hill and we were all told specific instructions that if we followed them they would keep us safe. We partnered up we got into to our sections and had fun. Plus, we found things like: iron screws and bones and pottery! About 2 hours later, we went to the Church for lunch but we had to respect the Church and be calm. Then we walked up to Scarborough castle to walk around the ground ruins a man named Patrick led us. He taught us all so much history of the castle like how the Romans built a lookout tower and other things it was fun to learn about Scarborough’s history. Then we held up flags from places like England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. After that, we walked to a massive tower, we looked over to the horizon and saw the beach and they made us say “Yay!” for a picture. Patrick told Mr . Cairns to take his red jacket off or he would get attacked by seagulls. Then we saw another giant hole! We had seen one earlier but this one was way deeper it was like 30 meters deep so it had a metal grate. The holes were full of money and litter, the other hole from earlier also had litter and money in it. We looked in the castle ruins and you could see were a cannon attached it. Then we went home on the bus.
