Good morning. Before you check out today’s activities, here are yesterday’s answers.

If you missed a maths video/lesson or want to revisit something, here are the previous posts.

History

As you will found last week, Henry VII (Henry the Seventh) was the first Tudor king. He was also known as Henry Tudor. Before Henry VII became king, there was long civil war between the two rival houses: The House of Lancaster (represented by a red rose) and The House of York (represented by a white rose). This war was known as the War of the Roses.

Richard III was king before Henry VII. Henry fought Richard in a battle (known as the Battle of Bosworth).

Here’s video explaining the build up before the battle (the video should stop at about 3:08)

Here’s a second video which shows the famous story of what supposedly happened during the Battle of Bosworth:

Once you’ve watched both videos, see if you can complete this quiz.

“He’s here,” she shouted at the top of her voice. Her mother smiled gently as she placed the plastic crate on top of the table. Amy peered into the the dark space between the bars. Suddenly, a high pitched bark came from the inside of the crate. The door burst open followed by a small bundle of fur.

History

George Be has managed to get a picture of the robin chicks in his shed. There’s three of them in there.

Alex has also had update on her butterflies – which all, but one, have emerged now:

4 of her 10 stick insects have hatched too. They’re quite small at the moment but could grow up to 10cm long!

Here’s some of the fantastic work that has been shared today:
