Creative Arts Week

This week is Creative Arts Week. We have been making oranges with cloves in them. Then the orange is going to go black and it is going to smell beautiful. It can last forever. Cloves were used in Tudors times. They used it if they had a tooth ache and when bad smells came they used cloves to cover the smell.

Visit to Eastbury Manor House

Eastbury Manor House

On Monday 9th June we went to a place called Eastbury Manor House. There we found out about Tudors. We saw what the clothes looked like and we saw how the rooms looked. We learnt how to say hello (good morrow) and goodbye (fare thee well). We saw some fruits and herbs growing in the garden and they told us that they used to burn bricks and make patterns like hearts and diamonds in the walls. The stairs were really scary because they were old and steep and they were in a spiral.

Tudors

In history we have been doing work about Tudors. Tudors were at the time 1845 AD. Tudors wore lots of layers of clothes. First women and men wore plain white material used as shirts. Next women wore a dress made of wool then a jacket. Men wore jackets with a hole to carry a knife. There was cord to tighten the jacket. Men also wore a hat with a feather. They had trousers called doublet.

Tudor Times

We had a visitor from the museum who came to talk about the Tudors. Keerthana and Yusuf dressed up in the Tudor costumes and looked very good in them. We looked at stuff like spoons, plates, shoes, candle light and a thing that you clean with. It was fun!

Tudors Visit

On the 7th of May a lady called Catherine came in from a museum to teach us about the Tudors and how they lived.

Two people from our class dressed up as Thomas and his wife Constance and they looked very hot because they had to wear lots of layers of thick clothes and in the Tudor times they had to wear all those clothes to show-off.
