 This week we will be researching famous Tudor explorers. Who do you think might have sailed in this boat? What would life have been like at sea?
This week the Life Education Bus is visiting school and our first Gold Book assembly of the term will be on Friday morning.

The Mary Rose was the flagship in the navy of King Henry VIII - the most famous ship of the Tudors. The Mary Rose was constructed in the first year of the reign of Henry VIII when he was only 18 years old.The Mary Rose was named after King Henry VIII's sister Mary and the Tudor rose which was the emblem of the Tudors. The Mary Rose capsized and sank with the loss of all but 35 of her crew during the Tudors Battle of the Solent in 1545. In 1979 the Mary Rose Trust was formed to excavate the wreck and on October 11, 1982 the wreck was lifted from the sea - a symbol of the Tudors naval power.
