Y2 – Writing: PG2 – Hot Seating as King James I – 9.11.26

Miss Devine’s English group stepped into the shoes of King James I this week! Through role play, the children explored how the King might have been feeling at different key moments throughout the story of the Gunpowder Plot. We considered his thoughts and emotions as the plot unfolded, thinking carefully about how his feelings might have changed as he discovered the danger he had been in.

This helped us to develop our understanding of the events from the King’s perspective and gather ideas and vocabulary to bring our writing to life. Next week, we will be putting ourselves in King James I’s shoes once again as we write a letter from his point of view, expressing his thoughts and feelings about the events of the Gunpowder Plot.
