Young Shakespeare

Year 6 were lucky enough to spend most of the morning with Liz, a person who taught us all about Shakespeare, the story of Macbeth.

I enjoyed it so much and I really want to experience that feeling again.

First we described one of the settings so it felt like we were there and then we chose a couple of people to play the characters.

Alex from 6 Blue played Macbeth whilst Lucy from 6 Green was Lady Macbeth. Macbeth was a great soldier and friend to King Duncan played by Ephraim but Lady Macbeth wanted to become Queen of Scotland, so she sent Macbeth up to kill King Duncan.

Macbeth said no t this but Lady Macbeth slyly called him a coward which made Macbeth mad. So he took the two gaurds, who were gaurding the King, daggers so it would look like they killed the King but really Macbeth stabbed him several times and he was dead. Then he realised what he had done and he knew that he lost controll of himself.

This took place in our school hall but then after play we had too move into our school hall. Altogether I thought it was amazing. I really hope I have the chance to do this again and I hope if anyone else has the chance to do this they enjoy it as much as me.
