There is little doubt that children can become gripped by Shakespeare’s engaging stories and unforgettable characters from an early age. Creative and practical approaches to Shakespeare can spark children’s interest, the desire to study his plays further, and a lifelong love of Shakespeare’s work. Hence, this term, our Year 6 children honed their acting skills and took to the stage to perform their own version of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Please browse our gallery of photographs to see how much fun they had bringing these memorable characters to life in front of a packed audience of family and friends on Valentine's Day; how fitting!
