Over the last three years Yateley School has been working in partnership with The Royal Shakespeare Company to try and bring new and innovative ways of learning Shakespeare into the classroom. If you have been involved in any way then you will know how much fun it has been! Also involved in the project and performances have been our closest primary schools, including; Westfields Junior School, Charles Kinglseys Primary School, Newlands Primary School and Cranford Park Primary School. Their pupils have performed in two festivals, Merchant of Venice (2012) and Othello (2013). To see the much younger children interact with our own students and see them develop and learn has been fantastic!
On Friday, the joint performance of 'Othello' was a great success. Many family and friends gathered outside, on A block field, with picnics and chairs, and watched the final performance of the year.
A big congratulations should go to Mrs Hearn and Miss Crutchley who have worked so hard to make all the shows a success. Also to Matt Davis and his technical team who do so much to help behind the scenes.
If you are interested in getting involved in future projects such as this please let Mrs Hearn or Miss Crutchley know and/or look out for blog posts highlighting new opportunities!
Here are a few rehearsal pictures from last Friday's performance:
