Y6 Shakespeare Festival
Thu 23 Apr 2015Y6 Shakespeare Festival
Today, Y6 were joined by a fabulous turnout of parents and grandparents, who came to join their 'Shakespeare Festival'.
Y6 have been working on a topic called 'Treading the Boards', which has involved work on Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Today's festival included a modern adaptation of the play, which the children had written, performed with a shadow puppet show. Parents were also treated to performances of soliloquies, a lesson in Elizabethan dancing and grilled with a Shakespeare quiz!
