Interesting Facts 21 September 1580 Famous Sailor, Sir Francis Drake sailed back into Plymouth after setting off 3 years earlier in 1577 with 5 small ships. Only his ship, the Golden Hind survived the trip which saw Drake and his crew as the first Englishmen to circumnavigate the world. 7 years later in 1587 Elizabeth I put Drake in command of an expedition to attack the Spanish fleet which was going to attack England. The next year 1588 he was Vice Admiral of the fleet which defeated the Spanish Armada. Drake was as famous in his own lifetime as David Beckham is today!

A note from the Games Parliament… At our first Games Parliament meeting we felt that it would be a good idea to try and organise activities at break or lunch times for any of the P1s, P2s and P3s who would be interested. To try and find out which activities would be popular, the Games Parliament will be sending questionnaires to all your classes to ask what you think. Once we get all the questionnaires back we will discuss this at the next GP meeting. If you ever want to pass on playground ideas to the Games Parliament please speak to any GP reps or Mr Balfour.
