Bee keepers in Wales

Today Dani, our host,  showed us how to get honey and how to make movable honey frames.

She was busy making them and she told us alot about honey and bees today.

They have about 6 hives. The bees eat the nectar from the flowers around the fields.

They look like this when they are full.  

These boxes are home made.

A man called Mr Langstroth invented movable bee frames in 1789.

Before then, bees got killed when the be keepers wanted honey.

From then No bees where harmed while collecting honey. I think thats a good thing

Anglo Saxon Fashion

Today I'm looking at anglo Saxon fashion.

I think that the clothes that I tried on we're horrible they were itchy,small and very uncomfortable.

The Anglo saxons usually wore dark colours in there clothes which I don't really like dark colours because I like light and spring sort of colours. 

These are the clothes normal people use to wear on a normal day. They are like bags and are very ugly.

Priest hole Oxburgh hall

Today we went to Oxburgh hall and went to the priests hole.

It was very tiny.
Fun fact did you know that the priests hole is actually the toilet as well. The people who built the castle built it as a hiding place for priests, but when they weren't hiding priests, it was the toilet. That's gross. The priest hid away in that little hole because some people wanted to kill them because they were catholic. They would  stayed in there for days, and sometimes weeks till the guards went away.

Fashion at Oxburgh hall

Fashion at Oxburgh hall in the late 1800s. I think it would be horrible to live and wear the clothes back then.
First you would put your undies on well there not really undies there a uniform here's a picture. Its like a onsie. and it would be tight.

after that you put on a corset which pulls your tummy in and its very tight.

Next you would put on your dress which I think is very pretty. But then you needed to put on a few layers of dresses.

There will be more pictures of dresses at the end.

Then you would put on your cape which I think is very pretty with all the clothes. I like the red

Now for the rest of the pictures of dresses we found at Oxburgh hall

this is a copy of the dress that Queen Elizabeth of York wore when she came to visit in the 1400s.

Now we look at king Henry the 7ths outfit.

its like a dress. but thats what they wore.

Ikworth House

Today we went to Ikworth House and  went on a bike ride.

It had lots of uphill bits and lots of downhill bits. It was very energising for all of us. We saw 2 houses and we road through lots of really pretty meadows. I would rate it a 10/10 of funnest place we have been to.

Shilling Grange

The person who wrote twinkle twinkle little star lived in this house. Her name was Jane Taylor.  She wrote it in 1800s.

Here is a picture of her house.

Roman clothing

My focus in homeschooling is fashion and clothing.
Today I looked at Roman fashion from the first century in Britain.

It was Roman clothing because the Romans had taken over Britain. They took over in 60 AD.

My favourite hairstyle here is the first one. The slaves had to do  everyone's hair.

Here is a picture of me in a toga. I think they look really silly.
