Welcome April!


Hello everyone! 
During the month of April we did lots activities such as:

We had our History test in which you did GREAT!
You did very interesting concept maps about King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I.

Here are some Tudor poems for you to enjoy! 


Henry VIII

Henry VIII had six wives
But not at the same time.
Even in 1500
Bigamy was a crime.
He was a ruthless king,
Rather fond of execution.
He shut down many monasteries,
during "The Dissolution".
If there's a ruined monastery
Near to your home town
There is a good chance that it was 
Henry who knocked it down.


Queen Mary I

Like her mother, Catherine,
Mary was a Catholic.
She really hated Protestants
They really made her sick.
For protestants back then,
times were really scary.
She killed so many of them that 
they called her "Bloody Mary".


Queen Elizabeth I
Elizabeth was 25
when she became the queen -
Quite young, but one of the best rulers
England's ever seen.
Famous for her fine clothes,
Her white skin, and red hair,
Her reign was called a "golden age"
But when she died she left no heir.

We also had our Literature Test! 

It was a scary test since it was about Dracula & vampires!






The Greg's pupil of the week was given to

FLORENCIA, CANDELA & CLARA for:

  • working with enthusiasm
  • sharing knowledge with peers
  • being perseverant in their work


Great work for all of you!!! Congratulations!

See you next month! Keep up your good work 5th!
