Tudor Day

Tudor Day

On the 6th October my year had a Tudor day that was really fun!

We all dressed up in Tudor costumes. I had a hat with a feather in it, a cream shirt, waistcoat, breeches and white socks. I also had buckles on my shoes.

First I learnt some Tudor dancing that the peasants did (It was mostly just side-stepping around in circles holding hands.) After break I made some pottage and had to fill in a sheet about cooking (the pottage looked like sick!) x x

                                                                                             _     -ugh!

Then I had lunch! o o

                                  0     ---nom nom nom!

Next I had to make a Tudor purse. First, I drew on some fabric around a template that was the shape of 2 purses joined together.Then I had to sew the shape together so it was folded in half and then it looked like an old purse.

 Finally, I put some lavender in to make it smell nice!

And to end my Tudor day I made a pomander - that's basically an orange with cloves in. I called him star because when I made him it was meant to be a happy face but I did a clove in the middle with cloves around it so they looked like superstar glasses. I enjoyed making my pomander but the smell of cloves almost made me sick !!! 

I liked my Tudor day and enjoyed making things!
