At the start of the week, Years 3, 4 and 5 welcomed a Tudor history workshop into school, giving children an exciting, hands-on way to explore this fascinating period.

The day began with an interactive timeline, helping children understand where the Tudors fit in history, followed by demonstrations where teachers were dressed as Tudor figures, bringing warfare and life at the time to life. Pupils also enjoyed a safe Tudor longbow demonstration and took part in activities exploring medieval jobs and the development of armour.

In the afternoon, children learned about Tudor home life, took part in a “skins and skulls” quiz, and explored Tudor medicine, including a memorable barber surgeon demonstration.

Overall, it was an engaging and enjoyable experience that helped bring the Tudor period to life and deepen pupils’ understanding.
