We visited the Great Hall of Henry VIII, the famous kitchens where it is said over 600 people worked at one point and the newer part built by King William III. The children participated in a fun and educational workshop which allowed the children to investigate the reliability of sources and the importance of remaining unbiased when enquiring historically. Luckily, on hand to help us out was Lady Beth (a member of the Tudor household)!
Alfie, Redwood class said "I found it incredible to think that 500 years ago, King Henry the VIII and his wives would have sat in this hall to feast or would have strolled down the arched walkways!"
We all had a fantastic time and the day enriched the children's understanding of our Topic. A big thank you to our school and parent helpers- Miss Hall and Mrs Peppit!
