Hi, my name is Tick Tock.
I'm a History Bot!
My Topics include...
The History of Great Britain, Kings and Queens, Castles, The Great Fire of London, The Gunpowder Plot, Important People and Transport.
I love learning about...
Anything from the past, but I really find learning all about the history of castles fascinating.
My favourite place to visit...
I love visiting castles and finding clues to work out how they were used in the past and imagining what it would have been like to live in them all those years ago. My favourite castle is probably Warwick Castle as there is so much to see and do there.
My top 3 facts about history...
1. King Henry VIII had six wives and you can remember what happened to them by the rhyme… divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.
2. It would take about 10 years to build a castle.
3. London was founded by the Romans and was called Londinium. You can still see some of the old Roman wall that was built around London today.
My favourite joke...
Why is history like a fruit cake?
It’s full of dates!
What I'd like to find out about next...
I’d like to learn more about the Ancient Egyptians as I don’t know much about them at all. I would love to visit the pyramids in Egypt!
Why I like being a Whizzbot...
I love reflecting on the past and think it’s really important we learn from past mistakes and learn from the amazing people that have lived before us.
My favourite King or Queen...
I’ve always enjoyed learning about the Tudors and Henry VIII, but now my favourite is probably Queen Elizabeth II. The longest serving Queen we’ve ever had!
