Summer term 2023/24
Welcome to the Summer Term! This term, we are reading Treason by Berlie Doherty. Treason is a historical novel set in the Tudor period, widely read in KS2 Renaissance history lessons as well as in the mass market. It deals with the intrigue, ambitions and fears in Henry VIII’s court, seen through the eyes of 11 year old Will Montague, page to the little Prince Edward. When Will’s father is thrown into Newgate prison for treason, Will has to take refuge in the streets of London. But he must save his father’s life!
Our enquiry this half-term is ‘How important were the Tudors to British history?’
During the first half term, we will investigate when and how the Tudors started, why they made an impact on British history and how they lived. We will look at the role of parliament, the creation of the church of England, Henry’s 6 wives and much more!
