Year 6: Macbeth

Year 6 began learning the story of Macbeth appropriately with Act 1 Scene 1, looking at the role of the witches at the beginning of the play. They took on the characters of the witches to create a disquieting atmosphere, suggesting that dark forces were at work. Our pupils discussed how they thought the witches would move and speak, adapting their body language and tone of voice to cast their sinister spell over Macbeth.
