English
In English this half term we will be exploring the playscript Macbeth. We will read the original play with the use of old english and then pause and predict what could happen next. We will then have a go ourselves at using the language to continue writing the playscript. I am sure we are all going to make fantastic playscript writers and I look forward to reading them!!
