Remember that you will need to check that all the people you invite, were living at the same time.

Remember to also think about some of the Tudor Food that you were able to cook a few weeks ago.

You will need to design some invitations to send to your guests, making sure that it is written and decorated a in Tudor Style. You could use patterns that you have seen on Tudor fabrics and buildings as a starting point.

We look forward to seeing your plans for the Royal Tudor Banquet.

Well done both of you.

Look out for us, we would love to teach you a new game!

Thank you these people for such good manners.

Today Base 4 have been designing their own version of a Macbeth puppet show, the children drew all the characters out and decided on individual parts to play.

There were some very creative drawings of characters and the children really took to the activity with their usual enthusiasm.

We used the book to make our puppets as accurate as we could, and paid close attention to the adjectives and other useful extracts.

We had some really good puppets made.
