The visit supported our work on the Tudors as the house was built during the reign of Elizabeth I. It is supposed to be the third most haunted house in England.
The children dressed up as either a knight or a princess and we had a tour of the house. The huge fireplaces, wooden four-poster beds and stories of straw filled mattresses and mouse fur eyebrows captured the children’s imaginations, never mind a visit to the dungeon!

Publishing our work.
We have been writing an explanation guide about how to survive on a deserted island. We started by looking at the features of an explanation, then the sentence structure and finally took some notes from survival experts.
These notes were then used to create our guides. Following some self and peer assessment we were finally ready to publish our work. We had the choice of whether to use Google docs or to hand write it - most of us chose to use a Chromebook!
We still have some work to do yet, further editing and selecting the appropriate font and size for our guides.
