Hi guys,

today we made a recap about good resolutions and then we continued working about Henry VIII and his six wives.

We watched a parody of ABBA's "Money Money Money" called "Henry Henry Henry"... and I FORCED you to sing... lol

Here is what we finally said about the wives:

4- Henry married his wife for territory. He wanted Germany. They divorced because she was ugly ( beautiful). She looked like a horse.

5- They married because they loved each other. But she cheated. She had a love affair. She was beheaded.

6- They married because Henry was sick. He wanted a nurse and a baby-sitter. They didn't love each other.

3- Henry's 3rd wife died in childbirth but she had a son / a male heir.
