King Henry VII1485-1509

One explorer, called John John John John Cabot,Cabot,Cabot,Cabot, wanted to set out from Bristol and reach Asia by sailing across the northern part of what we now call the Atlantic Ocean.

During the reign of King Henry VIIKing Henry VIIKing Henry VIIKing Henry VII, explorers wanted to reach Asia because they knew there would be great riches there. Not only would they become rich but their countries would become rich too.

Sample Slid

e



In 1497149714971497, King Henry VII paid John Cabot to set off with a crew of 18 men onboard a ship called the Matthew.

The King wanted him to find a better route to Asia – a place he believed was full of gold and other riches.

Sample Slid

e



When he set sail from Bristol in May 1497, John Cabot believed he could find a better route. But, Asia wasn’t where John Cabot thought it was!

Sample Slid

e


After a month at sea, instead of finding a route to Asia, John Cabot discovered an unknown land. He called it “new found land” but what he had actually found was Canada.

He retuned to England with stories of seas full of more fish than anyone had ever seen before.

Sample Slid

e


When John Cabot returned to England, King Henry VII gave him a reward of £10 and claimed that Canada, and the right to take all the fish Cabot had found, now belonged to Tudor England.

Sample Slid

e


If you look carefully at this modern map, you can find something that is named after the explorer John Cabot.

Sample Slid

e


John Cabot set off on another expedition in 1498 with five ships and 300 crew. One of the ships returned to England after being damaged in a storm but the rest were never heard from again.

No one knows what happened to John Cabot and the other four ships.

Unit 19: What were the effects of Tudor exploration?Section 2: Why did the Tudors explore outside Europe?

Objectives:Children should learn:

•to locate the Tudor period in relation to other periods of British history

•reasons for Tudor exploration

Activities:Use a time line to establish the chronological periods between the present and the Tudor period. Discuss with the children why

people explore the world and space today. List the reasons why people explore the world today on a flip chart or white board.

Establish with the children that the Tudors were looking for new countries in which to trade wool and other goods and to bring back expensive items, eg spices and furs to sell at home. People were also looking for a place where they could practise their

religion in freedom. Explain that the Tudors were looking for new lands in which to settle. List the reasons why the Tudors

explored the world in a different colour on the flip chart or white board.

Ask the children to write paragraphs in the chosen colours to show reasons for exploration in Tudor times and today. Using a

Venn diagram, discuss the reasons that are the same and the ones that are different.

Outcomes:Children:•locate the Tudor period correctly on a time line

•record reasons for Tudor exploration

•identify similarities and differences between exploration in the Tudor period and the present

Notes:This activity places the unit in a chronological framework and builds on children's knowledge of exploration today. There are a number of overlapping reasons for exploration in the present and in Tudor times, eg looking for resources,

personal reasons, the future over-population of the planet. The Venn diagram draws attention to this and links to

Mathematics Ma4, Handling data. The use of two colours in writing will help in constructing discrete paragraphs.
