The Tudors Thematic Unit

The Tudors

We had smashing fun with this unit! 

Putting her Tudor work in chronological order

We continued today with our Spanish Armada work...

....Ballet Girl made a secret scroll with a list of English defence plans

...while Monkey Girl used a mixture of paint and coffee for hers and added pencils either end to allow it to unfurl. 

A bit of fun at lunchtime:  The children have, at various moments over the past fortnight, been colouring in Tudor finger puppets and we finished today them all today with Sir Walter Raleigh.  Monkey Girl, our little actress, then performed a rather hilarious 'Life of the Tudors' for the others to watch.





While the Boy was at Nursery this morning the girls also learnt about St. Brigid of Ireland and we continued with our history book where we are up to The Hundred Years War and Edward III.  This afternoon The Boy goes to Story Club and the girls spend an hour or so in the library.
