Year 5 History Live!

This week, our Year 5 children have transported us through history with some fabulous performances.

We have visited the Globe Theatre in London to meet the famous bard, William Shakespeare. and experienced what life was like for the 16th-century playwright and his company of actors. We learned about the characters he created for his plays, the success he had performing for Queen Elizabeth I and King James I and discovered the origins of some of the best-loved quotes in the English language.

We also went further back in history to the series of events leading to the battle of 1066, as each of the contenders for the throne was introduced and troops were mobilised across the country for fierce battles We saw William crowned King of England, and learned about the significance of the Bayeux Tapestry. 

The acting and singing were superb.  Well done to Year 5.
