Welcome to Year 3

On this page you will find information about what Rabbit Class are getting up to and see some of their amazing learning.

Year 3 had a fantastic day stepping back in time on their visit to Hampton Court Palace. The children were full of excitement as they explored the magnificent home of King Henry VIII, discovering what life was like in a real Tudor palace.

We participated in a Tudor Kitchens Workshop, where the children learnt how the enormous palace kitchens once fed over 600 people every single day. The children were able to imagine the hustle and bustle of Tudor cooks at work.

During the workshop, the children handled replica artefacts, investigated Tudor ingredients, and found out about the different roles in the kitchen, from spit boys to master cooks. They were fascinated to learn how food was prepared without modern appliances and how meals reflected power and status at the royal court.

After the workshop, Year 3 enjoyed exploring other parts of the palace, including the Great Hall, Chapel, Council Chamber, King Henry’s tennis court and the beautiful gardens. The trip was a wonderful opportunity to connect their classroom learning with real historical surroundings.
