Half Term Project Details and Homework Ideas  

The Autumn 1 half-term project is: Off With Her Head!

 

Project Homework is optional; if you choose to complete any work, please hand in by Thursday 8th October.

 

Let’s travel back in time to meet the terrifying Tudors.

During this half term, we’ll learn about Tudor life: food, fun and fashion! Online research will help us to write biographies about one of the most famous monarchs in British history. We’ll develop our understanding of chronology by placing the Tudor period on a timeline. Tudor portraits will provide us with the inspiration to create our own self-portraits. Internet research will help us learn more about Henry’s life, his marriages and his break from the Roman Catholic church.

The new projects run for the first half of the Autumn term. Homework contributions can be made throughout the half term, please make sure your child brings in something that they have worked on at home.

Below are a list of ideas for the project, try one of these or something else project related.

  • Why not visit a local museum to learn more about Tudor times? 
  • Visit your local library to find out more about this fascinating family.
  • Henry VI created the Tudor rose as a symbol of the joining of two families. Why not create a symbol for your family?
  • The Church of England was founded during the Tudor times. Find out more about how and why Henry created this.
  • Design some outfits for a Tudor fashion show – what did the rich and famous like to wear in early and late Tudor periods?
  • Visit a local town with Tudor buildings. Take some photographs and label the different parts of the building. Look out for black and white, timber-framed buildings. How do they compare to modern day structures?
  • Learn and perform a simple Tudor dance.
  • Find out about (or visit!) some Tudor buildings – Hever Castle, Pembroke Castle, Ludlow Castle or Nonsuch Palace to name but a few.
  • Write a recipe for some Tudor food. Make it at home and see how it compares to modern food.
