the tudors

today we went to find out how the tudors lived, it was a really interesting trip organised by the wonderful sisters of our home-schooling group, the kids really learned a lot, they had some toys and costumes from tudor times which they tried, they compared the toys to what they have today (and liked their ones more), they tried writing with a quill and had a go at brass rubbing as well, it gave them a real insight into what life would have been like in those days, after all the looking, touching, feeling, smelling and learning was over the kids ran around in the gardens of this wonderful house and the mums sat on the grass and had coffee, a perfect end to a perfect day, alhamdulillah.
