Class 10 have been studying The Tudors. As part of their history topic, they took a trip to Durham University to further explore the 1500s and the monarchs and wars within this period exciting period. The day started off with the children acting as archaeologists by uncovering ancient artifacts and finding out their true purpose (some objects were over 500 years old!). We discovered sundials, cannonballs, coins, and Jane Seymour’s seal. After our discoveries, we had a go at writing in an authentic Tudor style using a pot of ink and a quill! The Tudor alphabet was difficult to get the hang of, and quite frankly Mr Sherrington needs to try harder next time, but we had so much fun. Later, we set off on a Tudor Time Trail, where we went back in time exploring the historic sites of Durham. We found original Tudor houses, castles, Tudor mills and bridges everywhere around the city. A brilliant day with brilliant children.
