King Henry VIII visit

On Friday, King Henry VIII and one of his courtiers visited our Year 3 class. The King recounted stories and gave an insight into what life was like under his reign and what would be expected of the pupils as his subjects.  They learnt about the King’s wives, the Church of England and all about the long bow. The children offered the King a gift of a painting but we are not sure we lifted his mood!

What lifted everyone else’s mood was the dance that they learnt and rehearsed outside at the end of the session. Thank you to the PTA for contributing to the costs of the King’s visit, which all the children seemed to really enjoy and gained a lot from this memorable experience.
