Benedict Biscop Academy Year 5 2018 - 2019

Good afternoon, Year 5 have been in the learning centre this morning baking delicious Tudor Knots! The children were split into groups and had to measure their ingredients accurately, mix the ingredients, knead the dough and shape their knots. All of the children had lots of fun and enjoyed eating their knots with runny honey and poppy seeds after. Another great day in Year 5. We hope you enjoy the pictures! Mrs Bailey and Year 5 :)

Good morning everyone, Yesterday Year 5 visited Palace Green Library (part of Durham University) to take part in a Tudor workshop. During the morning we found out some very interesting facts about Tudor times including the different people that ruled, wars and the impact it had on the country. We also had the opportunity to hold both real and replica artefacts some of which included; jugs, plates, sundials and clogs. We drew them in detail and described what they were and what they may have been used for. Before lunch we created our own inventory using a quill and ink. We had to write down everything that we owed on a piece of parchment. After lunch we began our 'Tudor Trail' around Durham City. We explored the area around the university such as the castle and cathedral. We moved around the city exploring the original Tudor features along the way. Many of the buildings still have the original timber frames on the side of them and have only had the fronts changed! We even go
