Tudor banquet

Last week we held a Tudor banquet and invited parents along to see what we were learning.
First of all we had to prepare the food. Everyone had a turn at baking or cooking something for the feast.
                       
We wrote our menus out with quills and chose costumes to wear on the day.

Mrs McRae has taught us a couple of Tudor dances and we have been listening to Tudor music.
On Wednesday 1st October we were ready to have our banquet.
The tables were covered with cloths and places set. The food was set out and Bishop James said the grace before we began!

After we had eaten, it was time for dancing and reading Shakespeare.

                                     

Reading Shakespeare

Many thanks to the parents who came and joined in and especially those who helped to wash and tidy up at the end. It was great fun and some people could have danced all afternoon!
