Midsummer Night's Dream Week

In July 2022, we celebrated the Summer season by looking at the world of William Shakespeare, and in particular the play: A Midsummer Night's Dream. 

William Shakespeare's a Midsummer Night's Dream: Amazon.co.uk:  Shakespeare's Globe, Ray, Jane, Ellinas, Georghia: 9781536217735: Books

The whole school listened to and watched the story, and then created a variety of different responses in English to the text. We also created art and other cross-curricular pieces of work linked to the play, Shakespeare and the Tudor age.
