Shakespeare Week – The Tempest is free!
Today, as part of Shakespeare Week, we found a suitable spot where we set ‘The Tempest’ free. We read the book this week and found out why Prospero conjures up a storm at the start of the play. We also found out about the Shakespearean word ‘cozen’ meaning to trick or cheat. Lots of Shakespeare’s plays involve a trick being played on someone and The Tempest also has some tricks in it… We especially enjoyed seeing where there were similarities in the plot of The Tempest and Twelfth Night which we read (and watched) earlier this year.
The quote in our ‘tweet’ is from the play and is sung by Ariel. He is describing what he will do when he is set free..
If you find the book, read it and then pass it on by hiding it in a new place and tweeting your clue using the hashtag #ShakespeareWeek. We’ll keep looking out for our book to see how far it travels.

Twelfth Night, Young Shakespeare Company
We had a great time last Friday afternoon watching a performance by The Young Shakespeare Company of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. It was especially enjoyable because we were able to get so close to the action and to get involved in the story.
This week we have been exploring the play further and have completed some writing linked to the text. The next few posts show some of the fabulous work Year 6 have been producing. Other work will be going on display in the classroom. Well done everyone!

Hermia wakes in the forest alone, by Zebra3
Yesterday, I was gazing lovingly at my true love’s soft smile and running with him joyously; today I am running fearfully from the wild beasts lurking in the forest. I am alone. Woken by scuttling footsteps and the wrapper of dew that has settled across me, I hear sounds echo and spiral through this criminal forest. My heart is still pounding with confusion after the sight of my beloved Lysander gone.
Shadows loom over me as I venture, sending me to crawl along the forest’s ferny floor. Intimidated, yet willing to save our love, I carry on trekking through the treacherous woods with my imagination set free to battle me. Scratching at my face, the branches also whisper delightedly as if crushing my dream is funny. At the moment, I am guiltily starting to understand my stubborn father’s side: it would’ve avoided so much heartbreak.
