Shakespeare!!

We have been learning about William Shakespeare this term.  It has been great to see how much the students engaged in this.  Shakespeare Folders went home a few days ago. Shakespeare moulded a lot of the language we use today and his plays have themes that are still relevant now.  In fact, Gnomeo and Juliet is obviously based on one of his plays, and The Lion King is based on Macbeth.
