Shakespeare celebration

Our English Department  is delighted to announce the first-day Shakespeare celebration in our school with our Primary Students experiencing the work of Midsummer Night’s Dream.

This feature-length celebration  brings together a playful compilation of scenes from the book. The fundamental point of these workshops is based on the belief that through our work students not only come to a better understanding and appreciation of Shakespeare, they also learn more about themselves and their relationships with others. Reading, acting, and discovering Shakespeare’s plays can be a profoundly personal journey for students and their teachers not only to develop literary and performance-based skills, but also to nurture skills that serve students throughout their lives. These include listening and responding, public speaking, self-presentation, diction and enunciation, relaxation techniques, physical and emotional self-assessment, self-discipline, and teamwork.
