  • 06:53 PM - 14th April, 2026 Welcome back! 🌟 Today in Year 1 we began exploring the world of Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre. We used Google Earth to find the Globe and the children were fascinated by its unique O shape! To bring our learning to life, we recreated the theatre using card strips, carefully folding them to make our own O-shaped structures. There was lots of creativity, teamwork, and excitement as we built our mini Globes! 🎭 We can’t wait to continue our Shakespeare journey! @the_globe
