Class 4B Hereford Cathedral
As part of our exciting Tudors topic, Year 4 will be visiting Hereford Cathedral. This school trip is a fantastic learning opportunity which we are hoping the children will thoroughly enjoy. We will be taking part in two different workshops:
- Tudor Trail – Learning about Henry VIII and the Tudor aspects of Hereford Cathedral. Children meet ‘living history’ Tudor characters and explore the building to discover evidence of the Tudors in Hereford.
- Calligraphy – Amongst the archives there are documents with genuine signatures of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Children are able to look at copies of these and other examples of historical documents. They will be introduced to the art and tools of writing in late medieval/Tudor England and given opportunity to experiment for themselves, to design their own ‘Tudor’ signature, and, if time permits, to produce a longer piece of writing using calligraphy pens.
School uniform and sensible shoes should be worn. Please send a waterproof/weather dependent coat. Children will need to bring a snack, packed lunch and a water bottle all contained in a named rucksack. We will be walking from school.
