clothes from the 1500s There were about fi ft y students in the castle, and some teachers and staff We didn’t cook our dinner, but we tidied the dining room aft er our meal And we washed the dishes, too!

TV in the evening And we didn’t play computer games, of course! We played card games and listened to music on a big old record player It was fun
4 At about 10.30 p.m it was time for
bed The bedrooms were nice and they weren’t dirty, but the beds were small!
We talked for a while, but in twenty minutes we were all asleep Everything was quiet, but then there were noises Was it a ghost? We listened, but the noise stopped I texted the teachers:
‘Come here, quick!’
5 Then the noise started again It wasn’t
very loud The teachers arrived and looked out of the window There was a white ‘thing’ outside The ‘ghost’ was a sheep!
