Year 5 spent the day in one of the oldest buildings in Exeter, St. Nicholas Priory.  They were invited there by owner Sir Nicholas Hurste.  Whilst they were there, Sir Nicholas put them to work in his kitchen, showed them how to make butter the Tudor way, taught them how to play a favourite game of the Tudors - Shovelboard, and allowed them to dress up in Tudor fashion of the day.  The children also spent some time at RAMM discovering how the Tudors of the South West influenced the wider society of the age.  The children were able to look closely at artefacts from the day, created by local craftsmen, and view paintings from the era which were over 400 years old.  A great day was had by all!
