Our question for Term 1, ‘How did the Tudor monarchy change our country?’, is history based with links to guided reading, history, art and P.E. The children will be exploring the key events and individuals from the Tudor era through enquiry based learning. The children will have a Tudor Day on Friday 18th October 2024 where they will be invited to
dress up in Tudor-style clothing if they wish to do so. In science, children will be learning about States of Matter, in particular identifying and classifying a variety of different
materials and thinking about how each material is affected by its environment.
Big ideas: Monarchy, fairness, equality
Inspirational People: Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE, Queen Elizabth I, Matthew Bourne, Miranda Kaufmann
Dr. Miranda Kaufmann is a Historian, Author and Raconteuse; she is the author of the critically acclaimed, Wolfson History Prize and Nayef Al-Rodhan Prize shortlisted, book ‘Black Tudors: The Untold Story’.
“I like telling stories. I also like digging for the truth. Or as near to it as anyone is likely to get. Because the best stories are true stories”
