Wardley's Wonderful Trip To Washington Old Hall
On 24th and 25th May, Year 3/4 went on a fabulous visit to Washington Old Hall. The purpose of the visit was to develop our knowledge and understanding of what it would be like to live and work in Tudor times. The children were engaged in various activities throughout the day. Highlights included: dressing up as Tudors, playing Tudor games, having a Tudor banquet and creating Tudor style portraits.
Back at school, the children wrote a recount about their day. Miss Shields set them a challenge! The best recounts would be displayed on our website. All of the recounts were of exceptional quality. Mr Malik had the difficult job of deciding which on one was the best. After careful deliberation, he decided that Brooke Smith's deserved to win for Year 4. In Year 3, Miss Clark and Miss Shields decided that Kyle Reed's recount was fabulous. His work included punctuation and a range of time connectives.
Here is an extract from Brooke Smith's recount:
The first room was the kitchen. There was lots of fruit in there. The man wanted us each to have a job so we all volunteered. Shaun Reay volunteered to be the cook and Alex Mitchell volunteered to be the spit boy. The next room was the Grand Hall where the Lord and Lady would eat. They sat at the top table while the other guests sat on a table beneath them.
Here is an extract from Kyle Reed's recount:
One beautiful morning, we went on a trip to Washington Old Hall. Firstly we got on the bus. Then we entered the Tudor Hall. Firstly we entered the kitchen. It was really fun because I got to be the cook. Secondly, we went into the garden. There were many flowers and they all looked beautiful.
