** Please read these notes carefully **
- We will discuss religion (specifically Christianity) in a secular manner as our events happened during the time of the Reformation and because at this time Henry VIII was in conflict with the Pope. There will be some discussion about why people across Europe were becoming increasingly unhappy with the Pope and the Catholic Church of the day- this will be done in a factual manner.
- There will be discussion about execution as two of Henry's wives were beheaded. There will also be some discussion on the style of the execution of Anne Boleyn. No gory details or anything that should scare the learners. 
- Students should also already know about marriage, what 'consummation of marriage' entails, pregnancy and how it happens and what is meant by an 'an affair' as these concepts are central to Henry’s 6 marriages. They will be dealt with in a respectful way using age appropriate language at all times.
- In respect to the reputation of Catherine Howard, Henry's 4th wife, the long standing dialogue concerning Catherine is that she was a 'flirt' and behaved badly with men. I will examine her age when this so called 'bad behaviour' began and touch briefly on how she was perhaps mistreated by adults who were meant to care for her.  In the last 10 years the dialogue about Catherine Howard has changed dramatically as historians begin to readjust their views on the very young Catherine in light of modern thought about consent and it is very important for us to also recognise that as a very small child she could not have possibly been guilty of the things she was accused of. Again, this is will be done in a very sensitive and age appropriate way but learners should be mature enough to understand what is meant by the examination of her bad behaviour vs adults mistreating a child.
- As a guide to the content- both my 9 year old and 10 year olds have done this class and both enjoyed it very much.
