Year 6 Head to London for Creative Arts Enrichment 20th March 2026 Co-curricular Creative Arts Global Last week, our Year 6 pupils enjoyed a truly memorable day in London as they explored some of the city’s most iconic cultural landmarks. Our first stop was the Globe Theatre, where the children were taken on an extremely informative and engaging tour. They learned all about the theatre’s rich history, from its Elizabethan origins to its reconstruction, gaining a real sense of what theatre‑going was like in Shakespeare’s time. A particular highlight was the rare opportunity to sit inside the auditorium and watch part of a live rehearsal of Romeo and Juliet. The pupils were fascinated to see the actors at work, gaining a behind‑the‑scenes insight into how a performance comes together. After the tour, the group took part in an energetic drama workshop based on Macbeth. Through a series of drama games, they explored characters, themes, and key moments from the play, bringing Shakespeare’s work to life in a fun and physical way. To round off the day, we visited the Tate Modern, where we explored exhibits linked to our learning on Materials. There was plenty to discover, but a firm favourite was the wonderfully tactile wall of carpet, which sparked lots of curiosity and discussion. Our Year 6s returned full of excitement, new knowledge, and a deeper appreciation for Shakespeare and the arts. A fantastic day of learning and creativity!
