Workshop 1 - Tuor medicine (morning)
Find out about Tudor medicine and how any cures were purely a coincidence! In this fun and lively workshop children will become expert 'doctors' and use some genuine cures. A fun quiz will help them consolidate their learning.
Next, we will learn about important Tudors and how the impact they had on history (including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I).
Workshop 3 -artefact investigators (afternoon)
Looking at some genuine Tudor artefacts, the children will learn more about what the items are and how they were used.
They can also play some Tudor games and learn the traditional pavane renaissance dance.
