Shakespeare workshops
Last term a theatre company visited school to do a workshop with
Year 9 as part of pupils’ preparations for the English SATs.
Here are a couple of students’ views about this event:
"On Thursday 3 April, the Bitesize theatre company came in
to teach all of the Year 9 students about the key scenes in the
Shakespeare play “Much Ado About Nothing”. They taught Year 9
about what it was like in the Globe Theatre in the 17th
century. The workshop was very energetic and fun. It seemed to
really help people realise completely what was happening in the
scenes. The theatre company fully involved the audience to make
it an enjoyable experience. They picked volunteers to be in the
play."
Seb Gibson
"The actors focused on the
key scenes and described them with great humour. It was a fun
and exciting way to learn about Shakespeare and the Globe
Theatre. It was a great help towards the SATs and really helped
us to understand Shakespeare’s language. All of Year 9 watched
and many volunteered to get onto the stage and act. It was
excellent and easy to follow".
