  3. Children’s clothing in Tudor times In rich children’s clothing different layers of material were common, even from a young age. Girls always wore dresses, underneath the top layer on the petticoat whale bone to give the girl a thin shape round the waist. All of the rich children’s clothes were made of fine silk and fabric. Poor children’s clothing was very different to rich children’s clothing. Poor girls wore dresses but they were not as fine as the rich clothing. It was something quite old and not made of silk and fine fabric, but cotton and thread. A satchel would go round the neck.

  4. Discipline and Chores in Tudor times In rich families they would have a person called “ The whipping boy”. If the rich child was naughty the whipping boy would get whipped. In a Tudor school there are punishments too. One punishment would be the dreadful dunce hat which was a big cone hat with a fat “D” on the front. You could also be whipped with birch wood, for making mistakes or not answering questions correctly.

  5. Games played in Tudor times You could have games made of wood ,clay, stone and animal bone. Girls and boys played with dolls, hoops from old barrels, footballs made out of a pigs bladder and pebbles and cherry stones for marbles. Backgammon, Skittles and hopscotch were very popular. They would also make waterslides out of wood then slide down the river.

  6. Going to school in Tudor times Rich boys only went to school, but some girls were educated. They had three years in nursery, then when to grammar school at the age of seven. In Tudor times school started at six or seven o’clock in the morning, but some children didn’t live that close to there school so they had to walk five of six miles to get to school. Lunch was eleven o’clock am. Afternoon lessons lasted from one to five o’clock. Sadly they only two holidays Easter and Christmas. The first school children attended, was the petty school where they learned to read and write. While in grammar school they learn Latin and English as the main subjects.
