Tudors and Park Trouble
Yesterday we were out of the house by 7.45am (!!) to drive to Bury St Edmunds for a home ed outing. Thankfully this one was more successful than our previous visit there. We went to the cathedral to a Hands on the Past Tudor morning set in 1540. It was excellent! We had workshops on Tudor food, an ex-monk making hurdles, weapons, fashions and a guide to Henry’s wives and peddlar goods. The historical reenactment group were really excellent again - the same group we saw for the Norman day in Norwich. Afterwards we got some lunch and looked around the shops for a while and then drove home.
Today we’ve had a day in and M has done lots of fractions, we’ve played Age of Empires together and I’m not really sure what else. M was caught in an upset in the park involving a large post of wood with nails sticking out of it and some boys waving it around and threatening people, but I only got the details when the next door neighbour came round to tell me about it. So he’s not going to the park unsupervised for a while.
