Tudor Life

This term we have a focus on learning about life in Tudor and Stuart times. 
We have investigated the timelines of the kings and queens of England and Scotland and learned about the Union of the Crowns. 
It was good timing to discuss these events as the Referendum was happening in Scotland. We even had our own mini debate about whether we would vote Yes or No if we were old enough to vote. 
It was good to see how much attention we have been paying to the news and how we are beginning to form our own opinions using facts and evidence. The majority of the class wanted Scotland to stay as part of the UK.

We investigated aspects of life and learning in Tudor times and had a go at writing with quills. It was difficult to write neatly and easy to leave blots on the paper. We practised writing out a menu for our Tudor banquet.
