On Thursday Years 5 and 6 explored the themes of love, betrayal, greed and witchcraft as they created a 'play in a day' of Shakespeare's Macbeth. With the expert advice and guidance from Sarah (from the Big Foot Theatre Company) each year group enjoyed developing their drama skills to recreate a key scene from the famous play. Impressive acting abilities were demonstrated by all children, with Hollie proving to be a very convincing, deluded Macbeth. The day ended as more of a comedy than a tragedy with various children winning 'Top Banana' awards for their thespian skills.
