Local Cornish Tudor History linked to a Time-Slip Narrative based in Tudor Times.

When studying The Tudors with a Year 5 class, it was important to link the famous events studied with what was happening on the 'local scene.' Using the 'Sense of Place' units from Cornwall. Incorporated within the termly topic was a trip to a real-life Tudor battlement castle (Pendennis Castle, Falmouth). Resources include a presentation tour around Pendennis Castle, linking in with Henry VIII (who commissioned it), a presentation about local Tudor 'An Gof,' who orchestrated a Cornish Rebellion march on London and linking in with an English unit of study; an excellent example of a Tudor time-slip narrative and success criteria, which serves as a 'Pie Corbett' style of story-telling and innovation. All information can bring a different local perspective to Tudor areas of study, enhancing creativity to this unit.
