As an introduction to our Summer Term topic, Year 6 took part in three workshops based upon the life of William Shakespeare. Dramatically, a scene from Macbeth was acted out as children took on the role of some of Shakespeare’s most famous characters. In ‘Marketing and Production’, children designed their own performance billboards to promote a variety of Shakespeare plays. Year 6 also put their music knowledge to the test when faced with lyrics written in Shakespearean language – can you name the song and the artist?
