  • The Six Wives of King Henry Viii
    THE SIX WIVES OF KING HENRY VIII Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived! Ready for a trip back in time? Here at Nat Geo Kids, we’re travelling back to Tudor England in our Henry VIII wives feature. Hold onto your hats – and your heads! Henry VIII wives… 1. Catherine of Aragon Henry VIII’s first wife was Catherine of Aragon, daughter of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. Eight years before her marriage to Henry in 1509, Catherine was in fact married to Henry’s older brother, Arthur, who died of sickness at just 15 years old. Together, Henry and Catherine had a daughter, Mary – but it was a son that Henry wanted. Frustrated that Catherine seemed unable to produce a male heir to the throne, Henry had their marriage annulled (cancelled) in 1533. But there’s more to the story – towards the end of their marriage, Henry fell in love with one of Catherine’s ladies-in-waiting (woman who assisted the queen) – Anne Boleyn… 2. Anne Boleyn Anne Boleyn became Henry’s second wife after the pair married secretly in January 1533. By this time, Anne was pregnant with her first child to Henry, and by June 1533 she was crowned Queen of England. Together they had a daughter, Elizabeth – the future Queen Elizabeth I. But, still, it was a son – and future king of England – that Henry wanted. Frustrated, he believed his marriage was cursed and that Anne was to blame. And so, he turned his affections to one of Anne’s ladies-in-waiting, Jane Seymour.

  • Royal Mail's Kings and Queen's Series Enters the Tudor
    News Release 2 March 2009 ROYAL MAIL’S KINGS AND QUEEN’S SERIES ENTERS THE TUDOR AGE Royal Mail continues its 600 year journey through history with the second in its Kings and Queens series celebrating the Royal Houses of England. Marking the 500th anniversary of the accession of Henry VIII, The House of Tudor, features individual portraits of the six monarchs who ruled during one of the most famous – and infamous - periods in our history, complemented with a four-stamp Miniature Sheet illustrating significant people and events from the period. The stamps - which are issued on 21 April in three 1st, 62p and 81p pairs - and the Miniature Sheet were designed by Atelier Works who also designed the first of the Kings and Queens issues, the Houses of Lancaster and York, in 2008. From the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 to the death of Good Queen Bess in 1603, the age of the House of Tudor saw some of our best known kings and queens sit upon the English throne. Marking the end of the Middle Ages and forged in bloodshed, rancour and upheaval at home and abroad, the Tudor age also saw commerce and arts flourish and the introduction of the Renaissance into England. In addition to its regular products Royal Mail is also producing a Cachet Cover, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I Coin Cover and a Press Sheet consisting of 12 uncut Miniature sheets (see Notes to Editors for further information). Julietta Edgar, Head of Special Stamps at Royal Mail said: “Kings and Queens is one of the most significant series of stamps ever issued by Royal Mail.

  • Six Wives Character Cards
    Six Wives Character Cards Developed by Steve Cooke. Initially we printed these in colour, but folk preferred them in white so they can print them on coloured card - a cheaper option. However they are organised in sets of four - two on each card. You may, therefore, want to print two sets on different colour cards so you can make two class sets of 32 cards in four card sets. Easier to do than to describe! Webaddress: http://www.collaborativelearning.org/sixwives.pdf Last updated 21st May 2010 COLLABORATIVE LEARNING PROJECT Project Director: Stuart Scott We support a network of teaching professionals to develop and disseminate accessible talk-for-learning activities in all subject areas and for all ages. 17, Barford Street, Islington, London N1 0QB UK Phone: 0044 (0)20 7226 8885 Website: http://www.collaborativelearning.org BRIEF SUMMARY OF BASIC PRINCIPLES BEHIND OUR TEACHING ACTIVITIES: The project is a teacher network, and a non-profit making educational trust. Our main aim is to develop and disseminate classroom tested examples of effective group strategies that promote talk across all phases and subjects. We hope they will inspire you to develop and use similar strategies in other topics and curriculum areas. We want to encourage you to change them and adapt them to your classroom and students. We run teacher workshops, swapshops and conferences throughout the European Union. The project posts online many activities in all subject areas. An online newsletter is also updated regularly. *These activities are influenced by current thinking about the role of language in learning. They are designed to help children learn through talk and active learning in small groups.

  • The Truth About the Tudors
    The truth about the Tudors Teaching and performance notes 1. Listen to and discuss ‘The truth about the Tudors’ Listen to ‘The truth about the Tudors’, then ask the children to describe the general feel of the song (eg fast, slow, smooth, bouncy, soft, spiky). Ask what gives the song its mood. (The words, the tempo, the instruments, the melody and rhythm and how they all combine.) Listen again and ask the children to clap or beat along with the main ‘1, 2 ,1, 2’ rhythm. (Marching or skipping works well, if space allows!) 2. Read and discuss the lyrics Read the lyrics together. Discuss which aspects of Tudor history are described in each verse. (You could follow this with a fun quiz, with Tudor Roses awarded for each historical fact recalled.) 3. Learn the chorus All together, say the words slowly and in rhythm several times. Encourage the children to enjoy the rhythm of the words and articulate clearly. Gradually build up speed. Listen to the vocal melody of the chorus (track 2). Practise singing along with the track. 4. Learn the verses Learn each verse thoroughly before moving on to the next. Listen to the verse you are about to learn (tracks 4 to 6). Read the words aloud together - slowly, clearly and in rhythm, as with the chorus. Emphasise the importance of clear articulation, especially when imparting tricky bits of information to an audience! (To help the children remember the lyrics, encourage them to visualise what they are describing.) Notice there is a spoken section at the end of each verse.
