I’m not sure how to describe this!

We have worked our way through the wives of Henry VIII. Much as he did! Time for some consolidation. (I nearly said ‘recapitulation’, but that would have been tasteless!)

The children, in pairs, were challenged to tell the story of their ‘wife’, through a quick-make sock puppet. Scraps of material were provided for costume effect. Bits of white labels created eyes and mouths. Each performance was filmed with the video, by the children themselves, of course.

The result, a short QuickTime film with the wives telling the story. Great fun. And it only took an hour. Honest.

The highlight? A very creative beheading complete with headless body- filmed before I was able to step in and be boring! Again!

(The Finished file is 18 MB so I can’t upload it here- but will send if anyone is interested)
