At the start of the school year, Year 4/5 studied the Tudors! As part of our topic we looked at the history of the Tudor Rose, which was the symbol for the Tudor Kings and Queens! We learnt that it was actually 2 different roses (a white and red) that represented the two different sides that fought in the 'War of the Roses' to decide who would be King! When Henry VII won, he married his opponent's sister! As a result he used both the Roses as his new symbol.
We used clay to create 3D models of Tudor Roses, it was very messy, but very fun!
They are currently on display outside the photocopier room!
