Year 5 The Spanish Armada - 1

      

Year 5 presented four superb performances retelling the tale of Spain's unsuccessful attempt to invade England.

The narrators begin the story
At the court of King Philip his advisors arrive: 
the King wishes to invade England - nobody dare disagree.

He sends the Duke of Medina in charge of a fleet of ships

Meanwhile Drake is busy attacking Spanish ships 
returning from the 'New World' laden with treasures

What fun to be in the Navy!

The Duke of Medina - who didn't really want to go 
- approaches the English Channel with his fleet

Meanwhile, back in England, some young ladies 
take an interest in the arrival of Francis Drake.
