Shakespeare’s Birthplace
Posted in Adventure, Drama, English, History
We enjoyed a fantastic trip to Stratford Upon Avon to learn all about William Shakespeare as part of our new topic, Twelfth Night. We worked with actors and made up our own play using characters and settings from Shakespeare’s plays, then performed it outside Shakespeare’s house. We also had the opportunity to watch parts of different plays, explore the house that Shakespeare was born in, the Tudor features of Stratford Upon Avon and Shakespeare’s new place which was demolished and is now a beautiful sculpture garden.
