Two days ago the 5th and 3rd Grade went on a field trip to the Venetian
castle of the town Methoni.
We went by coach and it took us one hour and a half
to get there. The weather was good - a little sunny, a little windy, a little
hot, a little bit of everything!
When we arrived there, we sat at the square
near the beach to have a snack and then we took a tour of the castle. We saw
the big walls, the emblem of the castle (the lion of Saint Mark), the moat, the
canons - even the little colourful flowers and the bugs flying all around us!
We also visited the church and the octagonal tower on Bourtzi, standing in the middle of
the sea. The view was wonderful from up there with the waves hitting against
the rocks!
The 5th graders and their teachers explained a lot of
things about the castle and its history and we took a lot of photos. You can
enjoy them in the slideshow below.
When we left the castle, we spent some time at the beach, under the shade of the trees, playing, chatting, laughing and having ice cream!
