Advice for King Henry VIII

The children in year 5 have been looking at King Henry within our Tudor topic.

They have been given the task of advising the King about his wives and how Anne Boleyn wrote a letter to King Henry about her treatment. 

The children worked in small groups to role-play the role of both King Henry and his advisors.

 

They came up with lots of points to support the arguments both for and against what King Henry had in mind for her.

Some of the children would have certainly made King Henry think twice about his treatment and maybe even have changed his mind as to what he eventually did...
