Year 5 Trip to Shakespeare’s Globe

This Tuesday, Year 5 spent an unforgettable day at The Shakespeare Globe Theatre.
This Tuesday, Year 5 spent an unforgettable day at The Shakespeare Globe Theatre. The students explored the historical secrets of the time-steeped venue, learning about Shakespeare's performances which entertained Elizabethan England.
A tour and interactive sessions brought learning to life about the unique structure of the building, planned for 50 years before it came to life, and how performances were staged in Shakespeare's time. One of the highlights was an interactive session where students worked to bring scenes and characters of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' to life.
In students' words:
"The Globe was very different and it felt almost as if I was dreaming!"
"It was really funny because I was chosen to be King Thesus and Jiahan was my daughter! We read out our lines comically!"
"Going the the Glob felt magical, as if I had travelled back in time!"
"Going to see the Globe was an amazing experience. We learnt some Shakespearean language and performed part of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'"
