They studied Shakespeare’s Hamlet and have written a short narrative based upon one of the scenes in the play. Some pupils even managed to include some dialogue from the script. The children also learned about the Spanish Armada in preparation for when we travelled back in time to Tudor England (1588) at Kentwell Hall for the day. In order to be allowed in we had to tell the Gate Keeper how Charsfield was prepared to defend the country should the Armada get through! The children were fully immersed in the activities and interacted with the characters in a mature and sensible manner.
