Year 4 had a fantastic day immersing themselves in history during their visit to the Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery. The trip was packed with exciting hands-on learning that brought their Tudor topic to life.
As part of a special workshop, the children had the opportunity to dress up as rich and poor Tudors, have a go at using a quill to create Tudor-style writing, explore real artefacts, construct their own model Tudor houses and even make traditional pomanders using herbs and spices—just like the Tudors did to keep unpleasant smells away!
Where better to learn about the Tudors than our own historic town of Shrewsbury! We had a guided tour of the shuts, passageways, houses and businesses of Tudor Shrewsbury including henry Tudor Inn, Milk Street, Butchers Row and Candle Lane which we sketched.
