Some items from Sir Francis Drake’s travels.
When Sir Francis Drake arrived, we met him as year group in The Lodge. He had a basket filled with items from his travels. He had a quill, chocolate, gold coins, potatoes and jewels. Our visitor explained to us why each item was important to him. Sir Francis Drake was helpful in answering our questions and he gave us lots of information about the Elizabethans.
2K enjoyed meeting Sir Francis Drake and it was a lovely afternoon learning more about Queen Elizabeth I.
