Hooke Court

Year 6 had a brilliant time on residential at Hooke Court in Dorset. They immersed themselves in a range of Tudor activities from bag making, weaving, cooking, drama, completing a time team dig, dancing and learning all about Tudor clothing. I was really impressed with the engagement shown by all the children and the Hooke Court staff were complimentary of their subject knowledge. Look at the photo section of the webpage to see what we got up to.
