Our Wow Day!

We had a brilliant time this week
when Charlie came into school
and showed us how to make a
Tudor House.



We made a poor man's house, which
was a third smaller than real life.

Using a frame and willow we made
the walls to the house.
We put the dwarf wall down in the rich man's house.

We learnt how to thatch a roof with willow.

Charlie showed us how the poor man's house
was made and how to split the wood.

We made the slate roof and the thatched roof.


We took it in turns to make wooden pegs using the bodger.


We had to work as a team to build the house.


We were really pleased with the house!

We put mud and sand mixed together on the
willow to make the walls.




Well done year 3.
You worked really well as a team.

After school we were really happy to show
our parents what we had done.



We all thought it was brilliant.
