Drama Day - The Tempest


We were very fortunate today to have a visit from Tony Turner, an experienced actor, and Ray Speakman, an educational consultant, to work with some of our Key Stage 2 children to develop their drama skills. The day was based around Shakespeare's play, The Tempest, and the children were introduced to two key characters - Caliban and Arial. They also used their voices and bodies to create the noise of the storm that happens at the beginning of the play.
 
The children had a great day and gave some very positive feedback about their work. Over the next few weeks they use The Tempest as the basis for their learning in their classes.
