Year 3 Visit Eastbury Manor

Last Monday, Year 3 launched their Tudor topic with a trip to Eastbury Manor. The children were met at the manor house by costumed tour guides who spent the day teaching them about many aspects of life in Tudor times. They were able to dress up in period costumes, learn dances and play games from the time. The young historians learnt about the way in which the Tudors farmed their own food and how the area around the house had developed since the Sisley family lived there in the 16th Century. However, the most memorable part of the day was learning about Tudor toilets! Year 3 nearly came back without one member of their group - Jack was almost recruited by the head servant after he demonstrated his excellent sweeping skills.
