Tu esday 11 t h August 2015: Ma ke y o u r o wn Tu do r s w e ets No t f o r c hildr e n w i th a n ut a ller g y! ! In Tudor England, if you were very rich, you might have got to eat some sweets made of Marchpane, which was made of almonds and sugar. Both of these ingredients had to be imported by boat from abroad and were very expensive. They also had be finely ground by your servants, before being mixed together with rose water.The marchpane would then be made into flat discs and baked before being decorated with other marchpane shapes, confits (sugared seeds, spice or dried fruit) or, for very special occasions, with edible gold leaf.It was moulded into some amazing shapes and it is said that Queen Elizabeth I was given a marchpane model of St Paul’s Cathedral. Someone else even managed to make a Marchpane chess set! You would probably give these sweets as gifts, or use them to impress guests when you had a feast. Tudor SweetsOur sweets are made with marzipan – a modern version of Marchpane. You will need;• 1 pack of marzipan,

• some icing sugar,• food colourings,• small cookie cutters,• edible cake decorations, dried fruit or nuts• small paper case• Sprinkle some icing sugar onto the table to stop it sticking. Mold the marzipan into any shape

you like – it feels very like play dough! We made some small balls to put in a paper case which we decorated with marzipan shapes made with cookie cutters. We also made a large disc decorated with a tudor rose, and had a go at making a chessman (but this was not so easy!)

• You can decorate your shapes by painting them with food colouring and a paintbrush, icing them or cutting out small shapes to stick on the top. You could also use sprinkles, dried fruits or nuts. We found some edible gold cake spray at the supermarket which we used to decorate our sweets.

We would love to see some of your sweets and if you manage to make a model of St Paul’s Cathedral, please let us know!

We dnesday 12 t h Au gust 2015: Re ading c o m pr e hensio n Henry VIII

Read through the information below and then answer the questions.

Henry VIII is, perhaps, the most famous of English kings. Why that is could be questionable, but for most people it is his private life that attracts interest.

Born on the 28th June 1491, Henry’s parents were Elizabeth of York and Henry VII. As was usual at that time, the young Henry did not see a great deal of his parents as he and his brother and sisters were brought up in the country at the palace of Greenwich where it was thought to be more healthy than London itself.

Henry VIII was not born to be king; he had an elder brother, Arthur, who was Prince of Wales.

Henry’s parents had destined him for the church and his early schooling was planned accordingly. However, Arthur died on 2 April 1502 and Henry’s role was elevated to that of heir to the throne.

Henry was certainly princely material. He loved music and wrote his own, being an accomplished musician. He enjoyed dancing and entertainment, holding countless banquets and tournaments. Henry also thoroughly excelled at physical activities such as hunting, archery, tennis and jousting – he made his court into a world of competition and celebration. Upon the death of his father, Henry VII, the heir to the throne certainly appeared to have the world at his feet.

Henry was crowned King of England at Westminster Abbey on 23 June 1509. He married Katherine of Aragon (a Spanish princess who had previously been married to his deceased brother) on 11 June that same year and she bore him a son on 1 January 1511. So what went wrong?

This is what the Venetian diplomat Pasqualigo had to say about Henry in 1515:

“His Majesty is the handsomest potentate I ever set eyes on; above the usual height, with an extremely fine calf to his leg, his complexion very fair and bright, auburn hair combed straight and short, in the French fashion, and a round face so very beautiful that it would become a pretty woman, his throat being rather long and thick.... He will enter his twenty-fifth year the month after next. He speaks French, English and Latin, and a little Italian, plays well on the lute and harpsichord, sings from book at sight, draws the bow with greater strength than any man in England and jousts marvellously... a most accomplished Prince”.

Henry V111 in 1536 by Hans Holbein the Younger.
