Year 6 Visit the Globe Theatre

The sun peeped through the rain clouds (for a while) as our Year 6 pupils travelled up to London to visit the spectacular Globe Theatre. Stopping for a photograph outside St. Paul's Cathedral and taking in the sites as they crossed the Millennium Bridge, it didn’t take long for our Shakespeare studying students to spot the famous thatched roof alongside the Southbank. After a little exploration of the surrounding area, we were led inside Shakespeare's Globe and given a tour of the theatre both in front of and behind the stage. Using their knowledge of Macbeth and new found awareness of performing in a large space, our pupils gave a theatrical performance of some of the famous play’s lines. This experience was followed by a workshop where the mind and moral battles going on inside Macbeth’s head were explored. This enjoyable trip provided an exciting conclusion to Year 6's work on The Scottish Play.
