This week we are offering our first Shakespeare day and we are very excited about it! Primary aged children from all schools are welcome to book a place on the activity day which is based at St Mary’s RC Primary School in Haslingden on Wednesday 19th April from 9am to 4pm. This is one of four days we are running at the primary school, all with a theatrical theme and facilitated by Christopher Hodgson.
Children will explore the language of the Bard of Avon and discover some of the characters he made so famous. They will have fun with Elizabethan dress and manners, how people would greet each other and behave. There’s a chance to dance just as they did in Shakespeare’s time and choreograph a scene from one of his plays. The day will also include activities around Macbeth, witches, magic and ambition and lead neatly onto Thursday’s Let’s Perform which includes creation of giant puppets and using those puppets to perform Macbeth!
