Transcript

Hello little supernovas and once upon us.

You know me as Brooke don't you?

Well not today not for this story.

I am a king.

Yes look do you like it?

Oh my lovely crown with jewels my gold crown.

I am a king yes but I am Henry VIII.

I reigned over England over 500 years ago.

I was a Tudor king not a very nice king and if I'm over 500 years old that means I'm really really smelly now.

Anyway my story is all about gold and how I can get my hands on more gold and I need your help to do that.

I need to find a girl called Anna.

She is the miller's daughter and she can spin straw into gold.

Well that's what they've said so that's what I've heard floating up to my tower here at the castle.

Tower of London.

So let's find Anna and get our hands on lots and lots of money.

I'm coming oh hi.

Hi I'm the miller's daughter Anna and I'm late I'm always late to make cakes.

Papa I'm almost there I'm just getting ready.

I've got mummy's necklace on and mama's ring and then my apron.

How does my apron go on again?

There we go there we are.

Is that right?

No it's not.

Two more minutes papa.

I look like I work on a farm milking cows.

Papa says that I am super great.

I'm not quite sure I'm late everywhere.

He says that I can bake the most beautiful cakes.

Rainbow cakes are my speciality.

So all you need is a bowl.

Oh a bowl.

Here's my bowl.

Oh I need flour for the cake.

Yes here we go.

I'll put some flour in.

One two three four.

Lots of flour.

Lovely and then I just need to mix it up.

Where's my spoon?

Oh here we go.

Here's my spoon.

Nice.

So spinning spinning spinning spinning spinning it up.

Oh.

Maybe not a rainbow cake today.

Never mind.

I'm coming papa.

I'll be there.

He also says I'm the best at dancing.

Are you ready to see?

Yes.

Maybe not so great.

Could you show me how to dance?

Not sure about that either.

Oh how come?

You've got your fingers in your ears.

Wasn't that was I?

Papa says that I can make the best cakes.

Papa says I can dance beautifully.

Maybe not.

Papa says that I can sing so beautifully.

But the worst of it is papa says that I can spin.

Spin straw into gold.

I hope the king doesn't point out.

We've got the right chain now.

Quite a long chain.

Hang on.

Oh,

And now to the tower of London.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

To come into the tower of London.

I've got golden fingers.

Glug glug glug.

Cold.

Now come and walk with me down this ground.

Go oh oh oh oh oh.

Lower the door.

You can see into your right in the distance.

Up the wooden door.

Behind the wooden door you will find a room.

Lower the draw.

Let me take you on a historical portrait tour.

Hanging on the walls you can see in portraits of my many wives.

Ha ha ha.

Take a look to your right there's a portrait of Anne Boleyn.

Ha ha ha.

She was wife number two.

Had her head chopped off for a flower.

My trees and yes it's true.

Anna as you walk with me you will start to see a therapeutic in front of you.

Now look to your left you can see a portrait of Anne of Leaves.

She was wife number four but she didn't represent the picture that you can see on the wall.

So I made her take her leaf away from me.

She didn't get her head chopped off so she couldn't count herself.

Very lucky.

Now this portrait you see here above that wooden door is Catherine Power.

She was the wife number five.

She was a cousin of Anne Boleyn.

Oh yes,

Cathy was a cheat.

She made a fool of me.

So I had her head chopped off.

Which will happen to you Anna if you don't turn this straw into gold.

See you in the morning.

Alright you lot.

Alright Anna.

Yes.

I'm here to help you.

Help me?

I'm on my way to St Paul's Cathedral where I'm going to marry Henry VIII and I'm going to be his seventh wife.

Oh,

You can't see me,

Can you?

Oh,

Thank you so much children for all your help.

Oh,

Yes,

My little princess.

Oh,

You're so gorgeous.

Oh,

Hello.

It's been such a long time since I saw you all.

The last time I saw you,

It was my wedding day to the king.

That means I am now the queen.

Yeah,

And I've had a baby.

Gosh,

That must have been a year ago now.

Yes,

I am Henry VIII's seventh wife.

Do you know why six is afraid of seven?

Because seven ate nine.

I can tell you all about the numbers today.

She's my absolute pride and joy,

My little princess.

The apple,

Pear,

Banana,

Coconuts of my eye.

I love to hold her and cradle her.

She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Apart from turning straw into gold.

How clever was I?

Children,
