What are we learning this week?

English – 

In our English lessons, we shall still be using a range of different adaptations to understand the story of Macbeth. In our daily Reading lessons, we shall use supplementary texts. This weeks supplementary texts will be a mixture of Shakespeare’s sonnets and non-fiction texts about: the Tudors, the theatre, newspaper reports about Shakespeare and Shakespeare – himself.

    

Our English lesson learning objectives this week are:

• To write a balanced argument.
• To edit and up-level my writing.

What is our class reading book?

Since we are studying the Shakespeare classic Macbeth, we have decided to read from a collection of Shakespeare short stories, by Andrew Matthews. Each week, the children in Year 6 vote for which two of the Shakespeare short stories that they would like to listen to. Afterwards, we shall be looking to identifying similarities and differences across the collection.
