Year 3 Trip to Eastbury Manor

November 05, 2012
Shortly before the half term break, Year 3 kick-started their Tudor topic with a fun-packed trip to Eastbury Manor. 54 children, teachers and mums made their way by train to Upney and walked the short distance to the Tudor Mansion that was once the home of the Sisley family. Whilst there, they learnt about Tudor food, childhood in Tudor times and the roles of people in the house. They got to dress up, play games, smell the fragrant herbs in the herb garden and look at and touch items that would have been used in the house over 500 years ago.

There was even time for a quick game of skittles for Miss Smith and Mr Grant before lunch. Mr Grant knocked down 9 and Miss Smith scored 3. Although gracious in defeat, Miss Smith is certain that she let Mr Grant win!
