TERM 1 WEEK 5

Dear Sec 3s

Here are six Youtube clips that I would like you to view.

Clip 1 gives you some simple background information on The Tudors, the line from which Queen Elizabeth I descended.

Clip 2 gives you the breakdown on Henry VIII's wives and how they were 'divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived.' :)

Clip 3 focuses on the life of Anne Boleyn and her influence on the English court and throne

Clips 4-6 provide a more sobering insight into the final moments of Anne Boleyn, whom you might remember from our classroom sessions, was Henry VIII's mistress. She was beheaded following charges of adultery, incest and high treason, three years after she married Henry VIII.

Please use information from the videos below to complete the handout given to you in class on the house of Tudors.
Enjoy!
Ms.Annisa

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Dear students

"According to Chinese tradition, the Rabbit brings a year in which you can catch your breath and calm your nerves.  It is a time for negotiation.  Don't try to force issues, because if you do you will ultimately fail.  To gain the greatest benefits from this time, focus on home, family, security, diplomacy, and your relationships with women and children.   Make it a goal to create a safe, peaceful lifestyle, so you will be able to calmly deal with any problem that may arise."

Here's hoping that the year of the rabbit brings you and your family much happiness and prosperity! Take time to reflect on your life. Appreciate on all the good even as you learn to deal with the negative elements in a mature way. 

May 2011 be a fruitful one for all of us :)

Cheers

Ms.Annisa
