Y4L voyage to the Mary Rose

We had such a fantastic day: we experienced life on board the Mary Rose as both a crew member and as an officer; we navigated our ship and plotted a course to Portsmouth harbour and spent some time with Henry VIII!

We learnt so much about life on board the Mary Rose... Did you know that there was a law in Tudor times that only rich people could wear velvet? Look at our pictures to see who was a rich or poor Tudor in our class.

Y4H's Published Narratives!

Here are our final published books for our narratives. We put our sewing skills to the test to create the spine and we are very pleased with how they have turned out! We are officially authors!

Y4H Publishing!

Today we are busy publishing our Tudor adventure narratives. We have been experimenting with drop cap lettering, to make our writing authentic. Here we are focusing on our presentation and book creation!

Book Making Y4K

Year 4 have finished their Tudor stories! We took our time editing and re-drafting, just like real authors. We are now in the process of making them into books, binding the papers together using saddle-stitch. Some of us have already finished and took time to read them to each other. 

Y4H Tudor Projects

Well done to all those children who created something for their Tudor project. Take a look at their creations, which included poems, powerpoints, Tudor Houses and posters.

Y4K Tudor Visit

Year 4 really enjoyed their visit to Tudor House. We looked at artifacts, dressed up, toured the museum and ate our lunch within Southampton's Old Town Walls. Well done to all of the children for their enthusiasm and good behaviour!
