Self-respect

Believing in Yourself
Self-respect means knowing that you are important and valuable. This belief helps you feel good about yourself, even when you face challenges.
Making Good Choices
When you respect yourself, you make choices that are good for you. For example, you might choose to work hard on a task or avoid doing something you know is wrong.
Standing Up for Yourself
Self-respect helps you say "no" if someone tries to make you do something you don’t like or that isn’t safe.
Respecting Others
When you respect yourself, it’s easier to respect other people too. This helps you make friends and be kind.
Feeling Happy and Strong
Self-respect helps you feel proud of who you are. It makes you strong enough to try new things and keep going, even if something is hard.

LC: To describe the importance of some of the significant landmarks of Lancashire.

What is a landmark?

Use your dictionaries to find the meaning of landmark

There are many landmarks in Lancashire, we will be focusing on the following:

Can you remember the names of these landmarks?

We will first take a look at why Pendle Hill is an important landmark of Lancashire.

1) Pendle Hill

In 1612, a fight in the street started the largest witchcraft investigation the country had ever seen.

The Device family was a poor beggar family who lived on the outskirts of Pendle, Lancashire. Their house was called ‘Malkin Towers’, ‘malkin’ meaning beggar woman.

The family were not liked because the women would beg all the time. The women from the Device family often had arguments with the towns people because they would not go to church.

Lots of people lived in the Device's family home. The old grandmother called Elizabeth was known as ‘Old Demdike’. Elizabeth lived with her daughter Lizzie Device, and Lizzie’s children (James, Jennet and Alison). Old Demdike was 80 years old and was known as Pendle’s local ‘witch’, supporting her family by selling herbal remedies and ‘spells’ to cure illnesses.

One day Elizabeth’s grand daughter, Alison Device was walking in Pendle Forest. She had been begging for food in the next town. While walking, she saw a man named John. She asked him for some pins. Pins were used to make potions. John did not give her any pins because he thought she would not pay him.

Alison and John had a big argument. Suddenly, a big dog ran at John. John got scared and fainted. After that, he told the people in the village that Alison had used bad words to curse him, which is why the dog came. He said Alison was a witch. Because of this, 20 people were arrested. 12 of them went to trial, and 10 people were publicly executed for witchcraft.

People now like to go on long walks and climb Pendle Hill because of the views from the top. You can go and explore the Witch's trail which has different check points along the way.
