What an immense week for 5P! Amongst lots of glorious learning, we had a visit and training from an actor at the Globe to help us with our Macbeth performance. We thoroughly enjoyed Nick’s visit and really appreciated his help in bringing our production to life.

Amongst the many activities to further immerse our selves in Macbeth, we practiced sketching portraits, with the end result being witch-like beings. Initially we explored the appropriate placement of facial features when drawing portraits. We then used our new skills to draw a portrait of our table partner. The next layer of this lesson involved the children transforming their table partner in to a witch in their final portrait drawing. I am so proud of each of the children for delving into their imaginations and creating wildly impressive witch portraits. Here are a few!
