Whilst some of the children have been at Grangewaters, the rest of us have been having a themed week! We learnt about WWI and participated in different activities! We set up each class as a platoon with a Lieutenant and 3 Sergeants. Some of the activities included code breaking, making silent movies and trench warfare!

Tudor Houses
Letter to the Pope!
In History this week we looked at why Henry wanted to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. We pretended we were Henry VIII and wrote persuasive letters to the Pope, trying to get him to allow Henry his desired divorce. We had some incredibly imaginative letters, including Evie’s, who managed list a number of reasons why Henry wanted to end his marriage.
