The Easter holidays

On Friday we went to church (since it was Good Friday!). In the afternoon we did a walking tour of Cambridge and learnt about some of the history.

This is a statue of William Wilberforce, who helped to stop the slave trade.

This is the Great Court at Trinity College, and the fountain where Lord Byron bathed with his clothes off. He also wanted to bring a bear into the College as his pet.

On Saturday we went to the Fitzwilliam Museum. The Fitzwilliam Museum is a really good museum. It has lots of different sections. After that we went to one of our friends' houses. They live in an apartment and come from Australia. We went to a nearby duck pond and park. It was a lot of fun!

On Easter Sunday after church we went to Wimpole Hall and did an Easter egg trail. It was really fun. (Lots of National Trust houses to Easter egg trails.)

On Monday we went to Long Melford and a house called Melford Hall. Melford Hall is a Tudor house. Beatrix Potter visited there sometimes because her cousins lived there. They called her Cousin Beatie. The room she stayed in was the West bedroom. She had a place in her room where she kept all her animals.

This is a mutliplication table painted on the wall of the Lady Chapel in the church at Long Melford. They used to use it as a school.

We also visited Bury St Edmunds and saw the ruins of an abbey.
