"I just wanted to say a really big thank you for your visit last week.
The children really enjoyed it and was so lovely to be able to see the instruments, costumes and to take part in the dances.
They were telling their teacher all about it at lunchtime so I think we will be having another go this week, but without your expertise!!! They loved having a go on the Hurdy Gurdy and bagpipes.
It has given them a really good start to their Tudor topic and a taste of the times in all sorts of ways.
It was a fabulous morning. Thank you once again."
