Year 5 trip to Dorset to explore Tudor history
All news
Just before half term, Year 5 set off on an exciting adventure in Dorset for three days, to explore the outdoors and take part in Tudor-themed activities to consolidate their history learning.
The busy days coaxed everyone outdoors with activities like orienteering, team-building and low ropes. Engaging with Tudor history was another key aspect of the trip, and the children enjoyed many hands on activities; cooking a royal Tudor gingerbread recipe, making candles, playing Tudor games, and writing with quills.
The trip was an immersive experience, set in the beautiful Tudor manor, and with trip leaders even dressed up in traditional clothing. Evenings involved Tudor dancing and even some drama sessions. The children learnt about the realities of being at school during Tudor times (to their horror)! On the last day, the children enjoyed a Tudor feast to bring the trip to a close. What a whirlwind!
