Year 4
Our Amazing Teaching Staff:
Look what we have been up to recently...
In this half term we have been learning all about The Terrible Tudors! We have compared the Tudor monarch Henry VIII to our current monarch Elizabeth II. We used historical sources to find out more about them and used these to compare. We have also learned about what life was like in Tudor England. For example, we have learned about food, crime ad punishment and rich/poor. In DT we had a special visitor come into our school and teach us how to use lego technics! We created Tudor gallows with our new skills.
Look at some of our pictures...
