Welcome back Y4 we hope you have had a great Christmas break?

 

This term we will be starting to look at the Shakespeare play A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

  1. Your first task is to read the beginning of the story of the play. Can you find 5 words that are unfamiliar to you and find the meanings of each word. Write these into your book/onto the blog/into an email. Synopsis part 1
  2. Next, we would like you to create a character web using the pictures attached to this post. You will only need some of these characters to start with. Can you pick out the characters you have met and then show how they are related to each other – a bit like a family tree. Can you also add a small description of what you know about these characters so far. Do you know anything about their character? Can you infer anything about their character from what you have read?

    I think Hippolyta stops deforestation

    I think Oberon is the king of fairy tales and he created fairy tales

    I think Titania is married to Oberon and gives Oberon ideas for his fairy tales

    I think Puck is a fairy but a suspicious fairy

    I think Nick Bottom makes patterns by weaving

    I think Egeus is the father of Hermia and his job is to take good responsibility of her

    I think Lysander is Hermias crush and his job is to make sure they fall in love with each other

    I think Hermia is Lysanders crush so her job is to make sure they fall in love with each other

    I think Demitrius’s job is to look after Hermia so she doesn’t get hurt

    I think Helena has a crush on Demetrius even though she doesnt know he loves Hermia

      Thank you for your response Zena. Egeus does want Hermia to marry Demetrius, but who does she want to marry?

    English 1 :
    1. Approach.
    2 Towards.
    3. Agrees.
    4. Decided.
    5. Sneak out.

    English 2:

    Theseus:
    is Loyal , about himself and also he is very brave, he could face anything .Again I think he is
    bold, he thinks he could do anything. I think Theseus is nice , polite.. also
    he is royal as well.

    Oberon:
    I think he made the fairies. He leads by example. He leads the fairies. And his wife Titania.

    TITANIA
    I think she is a mysterious fairy even though she is the Queen fairy, because she very quiet and waits for the late time to talk but suspicious one. She is Quiet. She is haughty. She is old .

    Egeus:

    I think Egeus is the father of Hermia and his job is to take good responsibility of her. He wants the right man for her daughter. Is jealous of her because he doesn’t like Lysander. He is nice. He is so generous.

    Nick bottom:
    I thinks he is spy because he looks like one. He his buff. if he is a weaver he makes patterns for weaving. I don’t think he is nice.
