Over the past few months, some children in Year 1 have been taking part in the Shakespeare’s School Festival. Five schools in our local area participated to put together a final performance of Hamlet. To begin with, the children learned about the play and plot and then worked in individual schools to perform a few scenes each.
Year 1 practised this performance during their Shakespeare club. During this time, a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) attended Park Lane to give the children a workshop to enhance their performance and help them practise their scenes. The children in year 1 worked incredibly hard and they all gave a fantastic final performance at Hartshill Academy. Congratulations to those involved!
