City of Culture Week in 4 Blue

To finish off our learning this week, 4 Blue took part in a range of activities, consolidating their learning and working as a team together.

To start the day, we used our Maths skills to count money and calculate taxes. This demonstartion helped the children to understand how the taxes in Coventry were unjust.
We understood the reasons behind Lady Godivaโ€™s protest. We used our values knowledge and used our money skills, paying taxes for their cities.

We discussed the taxes of the cities and why they are important, as we compared the different prices. We used empathy to think about how the people of Coventry would feel for not being able to pay their taxes.

We spent time reading a story all about Lady Godiva, learning about the story behind the Coventry legend.

Children made sculptures representing the BH values, teamwork, kindness, knowledge and respect.
We used wire and modroc to create our sculptures. We used teamwork, tenacity, respect and resilience.


Children created a roll on the wall, writing how they thought people felt at the time of the protest. Around the outside of their roll on the wall, they described the character’s appearance.


We created TV news reports to explain what had happened and to interview Lady Godiva. Children had to empathise with Lady Godiva and understand her motives.

    1. I think the people of Coventry felt cross and a little unhappy about the city’s that had a lot more money than others. I think they felt upset because some city’s were very poor.

    2. Two facts I have learned about Lady Godiva is that she ride around town without any clothes on in Coventry. Another fact is that she has long blonde hair.

    3. We have shown respect, teamwork, tenacity and resilience.

    4. The skills that we have used is researching and explaining, these skills can help us in the future. If you want to write a non -fiction story you need to research facts. Also if you want to be someone that gets interviewed you have to have good explaining skills.

    The people of Coventry felt thankful because all the taxes were abolished.
    Lady Godiva was a Anglo Saxon noble woman who rode naked through the streets of Coventry, in England, covering herself only with her long hair, in order to gain a remission of the oppressive taxation imposed by her husband on his tenants
    I have shown teamwork and resilience.
