  • Tudor Experience Day

    Published 28/02/24, by Mel Harris

    Happy Wednesday Everyone!

    This term we have been learning all about the Tudors and to enrich our learning we have booked an experience day with a company called Partake History. They will spend the whole day in school with us, delivering a Tudor Day for Obama class.

    The Tudor Day will take place on Friday 22nd March and the children will participate in a range of experiences including:

    • Handling artefacts of the time to stimulate group investigation and discussion work
    • Investigating and experiencing Tudor spices and finding out about their importance to Tudor life
    • Using a quill pen to become a master calligrapher.
    • Witnessing the gradual transformation of a girl and a boy into wealthy Tudor children as they are dressed, layer by layer.
    • Performing the dances and etiquette of Tudor court and country.

  • Obama Class are Architects!

    Over the last few weeks, we have been very busy designing and constructing Tudor houses.

    The design process began with the children looking at different types of houses then looking more closely at the traditional timber framed, wattle and daub Tudor buildings.

    They then explored making strong structures using cardboard triangles (Jinks's Joints) to strengthen them, making prototypes with art straws and cardboard.

      

    After that we worked independently to have a go with wood. 

    We learned to measure twice and cut once, and how to join the wood to creat a rectangle rather than a square.
