Pupils at Ballasalla primary school know a lot more about Tudor Britain, after a visit by a gunman from the era!
Reenactment specialist David Watts showed them the type of tent in which a soldier would have lived with his wife and children, and demonstrated some of the firearms which were available at the time.
The children also had a chance to show off their knowledge of the Tudor period, which covered the years 1485 to 1603:
'Significant dredging works' in Douglas Harbour
Talks taking place over mitigation measures as sailing schedule disrupted
'Operational reasons' and tidal restrictions delay Heysham sailing schedule
Manxman's crossings held up overnight and throughout Good Friday
Coastguard team rescues two-year-old Jack Russell "Teddy"
Cliff technician winched down to collect him from Laxey cliffside
