Our visit to Selly Manor27-03-2017 | 16:43:28 | Comments Off on Our visit to Selly Manor
Today we visited Selly Manor in Birmingham. Selly Manor is a Tudor mansion. We leant all about what life was like in Tudor times. We found out about the way in which houses were built at that time and why these houses burnt down so easily during the Great Fire of London. We also acted out the story of the Great Fire of London.
We looked at how the timber frames were put together and how wattle and daub was made.
We were shown an oven used to bake bread and pies just like Thomas Farrinor would have used. Isla is holding the ‘peel’ which the baker would use to put the bread into the oven.
We also found out how people would have cooked their meals and what people would have used to eat their meals with if they were rich, quite wealthy or poor.
We went upstairs to find out what the bedrooms were like. The bedrooms had a roof and curtains! The roof stopped insects, dust and other things falling down on people when they were sleeping and the curtains helped to keep them warm. Servants would have had a truckle bed like the ones in the photos below.
We even had time to dress up as people from 1666 and learn how to greet each other. Here we are greeting King Charles II (it was Harry really!)
We also had time to play some popular games from the time.
We had a brilliant day finding out a lot about what life would have been like in 1666.
We definitely prefer modern toilets though!

This week we have been looking at the properties of paper and how to make it stronger. We designed a bridge to hold a toy car.
Take a look at some of our results…

This week we have been creating collages of the Great fire of London. We used patterns of purple and blue to create the sky and looped paper sculpture to create the flickering flames.
Baptism10-03-2017 | 16:52:50 | Comments Off on Baptism
Today we visited St. Phillips Church to learn about Baptism.
We took along our Mum(Grace) and Dad (Reuben), with baby “Tom”.
Baby “Tom” was Baptised in the font to welcome him into the church, witnessed by his doting God parents.
We got to ask questions about why Baptism was important to Christians. 
We found out that you can be Baptised at any age, even when you’re really old!
Afterwards we found out about the Church building and all sang “Our God is a great big God” together (Mrs Wright was really good at the actions!).
