Year 5

Urban Dance

This week we have been lucky enough to have the dance crew Urban Strides at Nash Mills. Each class got to spend a session with Jenny who taught the routine. At the end of the day, we had an assembly to showcase what we had done during our dance lesson. It was a great opportunity to learn something new and get the children excited about dance!

Autumn Term

In Autumn Year 5 studied the Tudors and we went to Old Hatfield House and grounds to learn more about life in King Henry VIII's court. 

Before our Living History meet King Henry VIII tour in the old Royal Palace of Hatfield, we were also able to walk up to the newer Hatfield House, built in 1611 by Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury.

Our tour included, 

• Receive a general introduction to and history of the Old Palace.
• Meet Queen Katherine Parr.
• Meet Thomas Tallis a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal and one of the King's favourite musicians.
• Process into the King's presence in the Great Hall for an audience with His Majesty.
• Meet Erasmus the King's armourer
