History

Tuesday 17th June 2025

LC: To describe the different ways the Pendle Witches have been represented and give reasons.

The Pendle Witches were a group of people in Lancashire, England, who were accused of being witches in 1612. Over time, people have talked about them and shown them in different ways, depending on what they believed or what they wanted to teach others.

The twelve accused of being witches lived near Pendle Hill in Lancashire, and were charged with the murders of ten people by the use of witchcraft.

🧙‍♀️ How have the Pendle Witches been represented?

Evil and Scary

In the past, people were very afraid of witches. The Pendle Witches were shown as dangerous and working with the devil.

Reason: This was because people didn’t understand some illnesses or bad luck, so they blamed witches.

Victims

Today, many people believe the Pendle Witches were not really witches. They were people who were selected and treated unfairly.

Reason: People didn't like the people accused because they were poor. Some were old or different, so people picked on them.

In Stories and Books

They are sometimes shown in exciting or spooky stories.

Reason: Writers use the stories to entertain readers. They might change the story to make it more fun or scary.

Statues and Art

Some places near Pendle Hill have statues, signs, or art to remember them.

Reason: These places help people learn about the past and brings tourists to the area.

Statue of Alice Nutter near Pendle Hill. Alice was unusual amongst the accused in that she was wealthy, the widow of a tenant farmer. She made no statement either before or during her trial, except to enter her plea of not guilty to the charge of murder. She was hanged, along with nine others, at Lancaster in August 1612.

Next morning the people were awakened by a terrible cry from the blacksmith’s house. The blacksmith’s wife had crept early into Ivan’s room and found his bed empty. All that day the people stood around the village in groups, talking, but nobody had heard Starjik come again, and nobody could remember having known anyone as unlucky as the blacksmith and his wife. And far away, through the forest and over the hill walked Ivan. He wore his fur parka and between his teeth he held a squirrel tail, for if he had not, the wind would have frozen his breath into a mask of ice on his face.

R - Why did Ivan hold a a squirrel tail between his teeth?

I - How do you think Ivan's parents felt when they saw that Ivan was gone?

C - Why have Ivan's parents been described as unlucky?

LC: Listen and prepare play scripts to read aloud and perform.

Speak to your talk partners and tell them what you think a play is.

What is a play?

Have you ever been to the theatre to watch a play?

To be able to perform in front of an audience, we need to be able to use our loud voices confidently...

Before we get into role playing different characters, let's practice saying some short lines with the following emotions.

I will demonstrate first by saying "come with me" in the following ways, you all need to copy me:

Angrily

Happily

Frustratedly

Sluggishly

Excitedly

Scared

Evil

Now it's your turn to practice with your partners.

Say "bring me the cake" using the emotions above!

Who would like to perform in front of the class?

Now, let's take a look at a real play script...

Let's familiarise ourselves with some of the features.

Where does it tell us how we should move and act?

Have a go at practicing the first page with your partner.

LC: Record information from non-fiction texts.

Yesterday, we had a look at some powerful noun phrases that were used on the KFC and Nando's menu.

Look at the example below and find the adjectives, preposition and past tense being used.

Let's take a look at this picture together and decide on what noun phrases we could use to describe it. Don't forget to think about using the past tense and a preposition.

Two succulent fillets of chicken...

We have been set the task of creating a new menu for spiders at the Spider and Fly restaurant.
