                        TUDOR WORKSHOP

 

In October Mr Richards the historian came to spend the day with us in Year 4.  He brought with him lots of exciting things to see and do.  We got to play with the toys that Tudor children would have played with, write with quills, make scented pomanders like the Tudors would have carried around with them and took rubbings of Tudor coins.  We even got up close (but not too close) to the executioners block and axe.   We learned a lot as well as having fun! 

 

Are you clever enough to take the 4W Tudor Quiz Challenge?
