Shakespeare Week in Beech

Shakespeare Week (21-27 March 2022) is an annual celebration to give primary school children  early and enjoyable experiences of Shakespeare.  In Beech Class we read Chaos in the Wood (a short story based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream) with the character Bottom causing a few giggles.  Then we took  advantage of the warm Spring weather to enjoy some active storytelling outside based on our reading.  We grew from seeds into tall trees in an Enchanted Wood, before creeping, strolling, stomping and dancing.  Next we spotted foxes, owls, mice and snakes along the way, played Bottoms' head, shoulders, knees and toes and Fairy's Footsteps!
