Here is an interesting video depicting the Top 5 facts about Dick Turpin for you to enjoy:

Today we will be writing about Dick Turpin’s Life as a highwayman. This is what he is most famous for, but what he spent relatively little time doing.

Some useful information for this section of writing:

• Turpin began to work with Tom King (often referred to as Captain). They used to watch the roads through Epping Forest in Essex from their cave hideout. Once they had identified a suitable target, they would rob them.
• In 1737 a £100 reward was announced for the capture of Dick Turpin.
• An Essex gamekeeper called Morris managed to locate Dick Turpin’s base in Epping Forest. Turpin shot Morris.
• Dick Turpin killed Tom King by mistake. He was trying to stop King being arrested for collecting a horse that Turpin had himself stolen.
• Turpin realised he had to leave Essex and he decided to head for Yorkshire. He took the name John Palmer and he started to rob farmhouses and steal horses.

Today we will be looking at Solving Simple 1-Step Equations.

• An equation is a number sentence where one side equals another.
• For example: 10 + 2 = 4 + 8.
• A one-step equation is an equation that can be solved in one step.

 

Here is an example of the first part of the question to help you:

• x + 5 = 12 is shown the the bottom bar model.
• to solve this i simply do the inverse. So, 12 - 5 = 7.
• x = 7
• Let's check: 7 + 5 = 12. It works!

Topic - Zoom input at 1:30pm

Throughout our topic, we will be learning about Crime and Punishment and how it has changed from the Roman times to the present day.

Today we will be thinking about Crime and Punishment during Tudor Times in more detail. We will be focusing today on Tudor Punishments.

On the timeline you can see that the Tudor period was from 1485 to1603.

 

There were no police during the Tudor times. However, laws were harsh and wrongdoing was severely punished. In Tudor times the punishments were very, very cruel. People believed if a criminal’s punishment was severe and painful enough, the act would not be repeated and others would deter from crime as well.

 

 

Interesting Fact Alert: 70,000 people suffered the death penalty during the reign of Henry VIII.

To find out more about the common crimes and how they were punished during this time, read through the information below:
