Year 5 were extremely fortunate to visit Henry VIII'S palace, Hampton Court. Whilst there, we were able to experience first-hand what it felt like to walk the cobbled pathways of this magnificent Tudor palace. We were welcomed by Lady Constance, who led our first workshop. This provided us with the opportunity to observe and handle primary sources of evidence, whilst investigating a key question linked to Henry VIII. The second workshop helped immerse us in the role of those who worked in the kitchen and we learned what foods were eaten during the Tudor times. Some really took us by surprise! It was a fantastic trip and was a great hook to lead us into learning more about the Tudor dynasty.
