Macbeth Blog

Excitement filled the air as our Year 6 students embarked on a captivating journey into the world of Shakespearean drama. This week we had a visit from The Young Shakespeare Company, who brought to life the timeless tragedy, Macbeth.

Immersed in the atmospheric tale of power, ambition, and supernatural forces, our students were not mere spectators but active participants in this live re-enactment. The interactive performance allowed them to step into the shoes of characters, unleashing their creativity and enthusiasm. Following this enthralling performance, the learning continued into our classrooms. Inspired by the haunting heath depicted in Macbeth, our Year 6 students delved into the world of creative writing. The children eagerly recreated the spooky atmosphere, translating the vivid scenes from the play into their own writing.

Bitterne Park Primary School echoed with the echoes of battle, the crimson hues of symbolic blood, and the eerie presence of haunting witches, creating an unforgettable experience for all. This experience has prepared our Year 6 students for our Spring 1 English topic, where the children will be using this experience to apply to their own descriptive writing.
