Wednesday, January 30th 2008 - Discovery Class
On Tuesday 15th January a group from the Mary Rose Trust came to our school. With the staff they dressed up in old fashioned clothes.
We played old Tudor games such as ‘Nine Men’s Morris’. Regan thought that was fun as well as bowls with Sir Francis Drake, ‘especially when we saw the Spanish Armada coming!’
Before lunch we cooked a Tudor banquet. Nathan and Josh both agreed they enjoyed this the most, Josh ‘cooked some kind of pie’.
In the afternoon it was our turn to dress up and go to the hall for a feast attended by Henry VIII and his wife. ‘I liked doing some eating and drinking. The soup and bread were very nice’ thought William.
All in all we had fun and learned a lot about how the Tudors lived.
