transition projects Moving between schools can be a worrying time for pupils and their parents. We use the power of Shakespeare’s stories to explore the themes of change, friendships and leaving a safe world for an unknown one. By working together, pupils in feeder and receiving schools make new friends and get to know their new school and teachers through the power of performing Shakespeare.

Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2 • Building Bridges with Shakespeare is a unique project developed to ease transition from Infants to Juniors.

• All Year 2 and 3 pupils watch an interactive storytelling on one of Shakespeare’s plays at the beginning of the summer term.

• Year 2 and Year 3 teachers attend a full day CPD. • Globe Education Practitioners deliver in-school workshops, supporting teachers towards a joint Year 2 and 3 performance of the play at the end of the term.

By the end of the project, staff’s initial apprehension was annulled. This was mirrored by the amazed and enthusiastic appreciation of our parents.

Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3 • Our Year 6 to Year 7 transition project has been developed to support pupils as they move into a new environment, and reinforce the English curriculum links and communication between primary and secondary teachers.

• Year 6 literacy leads and Year 7 English teachers are invited to a summer term CPD. • Receiver schools host a Globe storytelling on their transition days for the Year 6 pupils.

• A second CPD and workshops in the autumn term prepare the new Year 7s for a promenade performance in their school.

As with all of Globe Education’s work, projects can be tailored to suit the needs of your staff and pupils.

Children as storytellers For younger children, stories told or heard can help them to understand the world in which they live, and transmit that understanding to others. Through role play and drama approaches, pupils are encouraged to explore the ideas and language they need for writing.

• Interactive storytelling.

• Teacher CPD and team-teaching workshop plan with Globe Education Practitioners.

• Active workshops encourage pupils to think about how stories are structured, characters’ behaviour and the moral dilemmas that confront them.

• Second CPD to support independent delivery by teachers, with a visit from their Globe Education Practitioner.

• Globe Education can deliver creative modules for Years 1 to 6, tailored to your timescale.

Supporting pupil performances Globe Education works with teachers to produce Shakespeare performances at their schools.

Our team of professionals provide expert guidance, support and approaches to empower pupils of all ages and abilities to perform Shakespeare’s language in front of an audience.

Programmes of work are made to measure according to the needs of the group, and we can work around your school’s timetable. Past projects in schools have involved: • A CPD session by a Globe Education Practitioner on directing Shakespeare’s plays for Key Stages 1 and 2.

• A specially abridged script, provided and edited by Globe Education.

• Performances can be developed for use in any setting – in a school hall, outdoors, or as a promenade piece.

TESTiMONIALS ‘ Teachers reported that the pupils displayed improved empathy skills as they were able to relate their own experiences to those of Shakespeare’s characters.

The pupils were able to both speak and write in role – to a far higher standard than had been evident in the past.’

‘My favourite part was when Caliban was going crazy and stamping his feet and saying “Freedom! Freedom!”

I hope that I get to go to the Globe again.’
