  • I am writing to thank you for the wonderful week of Shakespeare we had last week. You have given us a head start for when we do Shakespeare at secondary school. (Isobel)
  • My favourite part was watching it all put together. I really enjoyed putting my scene together – it was great fun. (Robyn)
  • I never knew Shakespeare plays could be so much fun. I thought Shakespeare plays were all boring but they turned out to be pleasurable. This year’s play was so fun because there was war, blood and guts. Everyone done really well. Next year’s year 3 will love it! (Jack the blonde one)
  • I really enjoyed acting as Lady Macbeth in Scene 2. It was fun plotting to kill the King. It has been wonderful acting with you for the past three years. (Eleanor)
  • I really loves it. I liked having the part of being a servant, doing my knitting. (Paige)
  • I loved my role of being Macbeth plus it was a brilliant story. My favourite line was ‘It was a tale told by an idiot full of sound and furry’. (William)
