In History this term, we are looking at the Tudors.
The children started their new unit by looking at their enquiry question 'What was society and culture like during the rule of the Tudors?' and discussing ways we could find the answer to this question.
The children began by working in groups, using their reciprocity skills, looking at different images of Tudor architecture, parliament and theatres. The children discussed what they knew from looking at the images, if they recognised anything from previous periods that we have studied and what is different about other periods we have looked at. The children made great inferences from the images and shared previous knowledge they had about the Tudors.
They then went on to look at Henry VII and Henry VIII and when they reigned and concluded the lesson by using what they already knew about Ancient Greece and the Kingdom of Benin to make predictions about what they think life was like during the period of the Tudors.
'Starting to learn about the Tudors was interesting. We spoke about the architecture and Henry VIII and we made predictions.' Miraz - Redwood.
