Year 5 Hampton Court Trip

Newton Class embarked on a fantastic educational Tudor trip to Hampton Court Palace. We started off with a workshop investigating Henry’s powerful personality and his struggle to break away from the Catholic Church to form the Church of England. The workshop has encouraged the children to reflect on how Henry’s actions shaped history at a personal vs religious principle level, using primary and secondary sources.  We also explored the grand kitchen, Henry’s apartments and the Great Hall. The highlight of the day was the hedge maze, where the children got lost and released their energy!
