On Thursday 15th and 16th March, year 5 and 6 pupils took part in the first Primary Shakespeare Festival at Polam Hall School. This was an amazing opportunity to work with children from other schools – Polam, Skerne Park and St.Mary’s Cockerton.
In the weeks leading up to the festival, the children studied Shakespeare’s play Macbeth. Each school was allocated a section of the play to perform, along with a choral chant and a song for the finale. The children worked incredibly hard to learn, and then perform, a very challenging script!
We spent the afternoons rehearsing at Polam, along with the other schools. On the evenings, the children performed on the stage to a large audience. Despite initial nerves, the children performed incredibly well! The whole experience was amazing and one the children will not forget.
