Well I have not blogged for a long time so I thought since I am at a new school it was time to get back in the swing. First off I want to say Hi to all the pupils at St C's and I hope you are enjoying your holiday.Did you know that on this day in 1564 Sir John Hawkins begins 2nd trip to America?Despite being one of the foremost seamen of 16th-century England and main architect of the English navy he was also sadly to be the pioneer of the English slave trade. He was one of the first to run the triangular trade, making a profit at every stop. We can not judge him on today's standards as this would be somewhat unfair but think how different life would have been for millions if he had not been around.
Its good to be back!
