Year 6 part of BBC 'Live' Lesson

Pupils in Year 6 ended their Shakespeare week with a wonderful trip to the Birmingham library for a special BBC live lesson. Pupils from around the country tuned in to watch the live streaming but Year 6 were actually part of the audience.

The aim of the show was about bring Shakespeare to life for primary aged children and it certainly did just that. Working in partnership with the Royal Shakespeare Company, BBC Live Lessons held a very exciting live lesson. The show focused on iconic scenes from A Midsummer Night's Dream, Macbeth and Henry V.

We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and found it fascinating to be part of the live broadcast. You can see the show again at:
