Year 6 Live the Tudor Life

Year 6 pupils immersed themselves in the world of the Tudors on their recent trip to Buckland Abbey.

Run by the National Trust, Buckland Abbey is part museum and part historical house. Our Year 6 pupils tried on costumes, had a tour of the estate, enjoyed an artefact-handling session, and learnt masses about life in Tudor times.

The trip forms a crucial part of their current History work on the Tudors – we believe that taking learning beyond the classroom helps topics come to life!
