✨🏰 BOSWORTH • ADVENTURE 🏰✨

Year 5 had a fantastic day exploring Bosworth today as part of their Tudor learning! 🤩✨

The children stepped back in time as they toured the battlefield, learning lots of fascinating facts about the famous battle that led to the rise of the Tudor dynasty 👑⚔️✨

They explored the museum, discovering artefacts that had been found on the battlefield, and brought history to life by acting out the roles of the kings, dukes, and earls who played an important part in the battle 📜✨

There was also the chance to try on helmets and heavy chain mail, giving the children a real sense of what life was like for soldiers during Tudor times 🛡️✨

One of the highlights of the day was taking part in a soldier experience, where the children worked together using a poleaxe to defeat Richard III — demonstrating fantastic teamwork and enthusiasm throughout! ⚔️✨

The children asked lots of thoughtful questions, represented St Gregory’s beautifully, and had an amazing time learning beyond the classroom 💙✨

What a memorable day of history, discovery, and adventure! 🏰✨
