Hello Welbeck,
I hope that you are all safe and well. You are all doing a fantastic job in the difficult situation and you should feel very proud of yourselves.
Thank you for the fantastic work on Purple Mash and for the emails that many of you are sending me. It really makes me smile hearing from you and seeing the incredible work that you are doing.
Keep working hard and remember to do what works best for your family. If you need any help with anything please email the school office and I will get back to you as quickly as I can.
Keep being amazing- I am so proud of you all and missing you so much.
Take care,
Miss Tomlinson

This week I would like you to write an information/ non-fiction book about the Tudors. You might choose to have different sections focusing on Henry VIII, his children and his wife. You might also want to do some research on other popular themes during the Tudor times including food, schools, punishment and entertainment.
Think carefully about what an information text/ non-fiction book should include e.g. glossary etc and try to include these in your work.
