Year 6 Shakespeare Week

Last week, Year 6 had an enjoyable time as they prepared for a performance of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The pupils have had the opportunity to explore a range of skills such as improvisation, characterisation and movement as they rehearsed with Stage Door Theatre Company. They have also gained a much deeper understanding of the play and its context. On top of this, the pupils have been able to gain a greater appreciation and understanding of Shakespeare, his works and the language used.

The pupils have thoroughly enjoyed the week and have had the opportunity to develop their confidence and understanding of the play, whilst also having lots of fun. They have worked hard and have put together a fantastic performance that was enjoyed by staff, pupils and parents alike.
