Learning through the creative and performing arts
Year 4 pupils have taken on the role of film directors as they prepare for their production of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.
They’ve been been re-writing and creating scenes for their modern day re-telling of the play, which will also be filmed.
Their research has involved them exploring history, language, the art of playwriting and some of other Shakespeare’s other plays. They’ve also been finding out about Shakespeare’s life and phrases he brought to the English language including ‘knock knock, who’s there’, ‘a laughing stock’ and ‘fair play’.
