18 Jan Year 6, Spring 1, Week 2
This week, Year 6 got well and truly stuck into their new writing text, which is Macbeth, written by extraordinary Elizabethean playwright, William Shakespeare. As they will be eventually writing poems about the three witches, they focused on the section of the play when Macbeth and Banquo come across the three witches on the heath. They class got into character by acting out the part when the witches are making a magic potion and listing off the gruesome ingredients they are adding in! The children discussed the success criteria that they should follow in order to perform in an engaging way, including varying their tone, volume and pace and using actions and sound effects
