Miss Golland’s class assembly

Posted on November 6, 2017 by Miss G

Our class assembly is on the 20th November. Below are the lyrics for the song we will be singing and the Youtube link should take you to the music we will be singing to. Please practise at home, scripts will also be coming home this week. Thank you!

Song lyrics:

Divorced, beheaded and died

Divorced, beheaded, survived

I’m Henry VIII, I had six sorry wives

Some might say I ruined their lives

Catherine of Aragon was one

She failed to give me a son

I had to ask her for a divorce

That broke up her heart of course

Young Anne Boleyn, she was two

Had a daughter, the best she could do

I said she flirted with some other man

And off with the chop went dear Anne

Lovely Jane Seymour was three

The love of a lifetime for me

She gave me a son

Little Prince Ed

Then poor old Jane went and dropped dead

Divorced, beheaded and died

Divorced, beheaded, survived

I’m Henry VIII, I had six sorry wives

Some might say I ruined their lives

Anne of Cleves came at four

I fell for the portrait I saw

Then laid eyes on her face and cried “she’s a horse!”

I must have another divorce

Catherine Howard was five

A child of 19, so alive

She flirted with others, no way to behave

The axe sent young Cath to her grave

Katherine Parr she was last

By then all my best days were past

I lay on my death bed age just 55

Lucky Katherine the last stayed alive

I mean how unfair

Divorced, beheaded and died

Divorced, beheaded, survived

I’m Henry VIII, I had six sorry wives

You could say I ruined their lives

Tudor Day (27th November): is fast approaching. We have a fun day of activities planned and you will be invited to come in and share our work in the afternoon. We really need some help with the workshops during the morning, especially as there are some cooking activities. Please let us know if you can help –even if it’s for an hour! Don’t forget to get your Tudor costumes ready.

Art: During the week of 20th November, the children will be making their own Tudor portrait. If there are any parents/grandparents that would like to help, please let your class teacher know.
