Treason, by Berlie Doherty, is a historical fiction novel for children set in Henry VIII's court in the late 1530s. The story is set during the Tudor period, specifically in the late 1530s, during Henry VIII's reign and shortly after he declared himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England. The story follows 11-year-old Will Montague, a favourite page to the young Prince Edward, who becomes an enemy of the court and must flee to the dangerous streets of London after his father is accused of treason and imprisoned. Will, helped by a poor London street boy, embarks on a perilous quest to free his father. 

 

We will also be looking at Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet!

At home, please read with your child and complete the log on boom reader at least three times a week - the more the merrier!

Each week we have a new value – 12 in total.    The children will have an assembly Monday morning about how to show and give respect to others both in school and at home!  We will be expecting this to be demonstrated to all members of our Coppice community,  it is important that even when we move onto a new value, the old one isn’t lost.

 Each week Mrs Seaton will sent out a Newsletter that will reflect the value we are working on so that it can also be supported at home.  We look forward to seeing our children bright and early ready to embrace the new weekly challenges!
