Form 3's Tudor morning

Form 3 had another successful history morning when the children went back approximately 500 years to the Tudor period between 1485 and 1603.  They had the opportunity to explore many artefacts from the era, including a long bow, a musket, drinking pots, crooks, plates and cutlery. Discipline in schools was also mentioned and the children looked a little concerned to hear that Tudor children were hit with a horn book every morning just to be reminded that it hurt and to behave. The morning was rounded off with a counting activity where the children carried out basic addition using a counting board and could only answer in Latin numerals.

A thoroughly enjoyable and educational morning for all and a great introduction to the Form 3 Tudor topic.
