Year 5-Macbeth workshop

This week Year 5 have been exploring Shakespeare's Macbeth as part of our unit focus on persuasive writing and plays. The children have researched and produced a fact file about Shakespeare's life, read a shortened Macbeth script and used their reciprocity skills to act out the scenes collaboratively.

In addition to this, Year 5 were involved in Shakespeare Rewired workshop by Sky Blue theatre. This interactive and highly engaging workshop centered on the children acting out each role in Macbeth. The play was complete with sound effects, costumes and a live audience!


Pupils had a fantastic time participating in this workshop and we thank Sky Blue theatre for bringing such enthusiasm and theatre to Broadford.

Evie in Elm said, "The workshop was so much fun, children got to dress up and act!" 

Adam in Elm said, " It was an amazing experience and very funny."

Fayo in Maple said, " I thought the show was very fun! Even though killing other actors was quite gruesome-I loved that I got the opportunity to be Macbeth!" 

Tyler in Elm said, "Acting it out, really helped me to learn the story of Macbeth!"

 

Fallon in Maple said, "It felt amazing being the witch and it felt amazing everyone watching us in the year group."

The staff in Year 5 were incredibly impressed by the children and their enthusiasm for Shakespeare. They were all engaged and represented Broadford Primary School by showing reciprocity towards each other and using their reflectiveness skills.
