Year 5/6 The Shakespeare Company Visit

The Shakespeare Company Play

The Shakespeare company are a group that  come into schools and retell Shakespearean plays for kids.  On Wednesday 16th October we were lucky to be able to see MacBeth in action.              

           

Last year they performed Romeo and Juliet to Year five and six and this year they performed MacBeth.

The whole year group were amazed at how they managed to engage all the children in the play by giving them parts. It was also good to see the ways they had to express how the characters might be feeling because of the decisions they made.

MacBeth is a tragedy play so there were lots sad moments and  happy moments.

We would really like to thank all of the actors and actresses that were involved - it really was a great performance!

Fun with Maths!

Last week in Year 5 and 6 we made the most of the remaining warm weather and completed our Math's lesson outside.
This involved the children going on a "Treasure Hunt" to complete clues relating to our work on Multiplication, Division and Place Value.
We loved the fact that the children were able to learn at their own individual pace, whilst having an element of competition too!
Outdoor Learning is a fantastic approach and adds another dimension to our Math's Curriculum.
