Year 5 have learned about more monarchs each week. We learned about King John and the agreements in the Magna Carta, followed by Henry Viii and his reasons for creating the Church of England (& the huge historical consequences that followed).

Last week, we learned about Charles I, then made scrap books comparing what it would have been like in England while Oliver Cromwell then Charles II were in charge. We used primary and secondary sources to record facts, and reviewed the reliability of certain quotes. The children really enjoyed being creative in their history work!
