Excited with the anticipation of the chance to see where Henry VIII once walked, the Year 6s approached the Palace.
After touring the palace, each class enjoyed an interview with Henry's top laundry woman to try and procure a job in Tudor England. She told the kids all about the different jobs in the castle including the gongscourer... A job when children are dangled down the toilets (holes running through buildings like chimneys) where they are expected to scrub the excrement from the cesspit at the bottom.
Luckily the children had no pies to bribe the laundry woman, and so they were all sent away without a job.
Overall the year 6's enjoyed their trip, it was a fascinating place to learn about the history of England.
