Topic:

This week, I would like you to find out about crime, punishment and law enforcement in Tudor England. The Tudors are often referred to as the ‘Torturous Tudors!’

Open the ‘Guess the Tudor Object’ attachment. How do you think each object was used and what do you think a person may have done to be given that punishment?

After you have had a discussion about each object, open the ‘Tudor Object Descriptions’ attachment to find out more about each of the methods of punishment.

Emily Parker likes to know what is going on in the village. She has told some of her friends that she doesn’t like Agnes because she has a black cat and she is sure that she can hear Agnes saying spells at night. What crime would Emily have been accused of? What would her punishment be? What do you think Emily would say about her punishment? Is it fair? How could she try and stop the punishment happening to her? Put yourself in the shoes of Emily Parker and write a diary entry. Remember the key features we looked at when we wrote diary entries in class.

*Remember to also read and practise your times tables daily and regularly complete activities on Education City.

Good luck and we can’t wait to see you all back in school as soon as possible.

Hi Class 5,

I hope you are all staying safe and well and tackling some of the tasks that have been set. Anthony, I loved your super science and it was fantastic to see you looking so happy.

I thought I would set a riddle for you to solve each day. Try and solve it before your parents/carers.

Today’s riddle is as follows:

You throw away the outside and then cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What have you eaten?

Good luck

Mrs Duncan

Apologies to class 5. I am desperately trying (and failing) to add work to Education City for you to complete at home. I will keep trying but please continue to read regularly, practise your multiplication tables and use the websites from the recommended list issued by school.

Take care and stay safe.

Mrs Duncan
