Science: The children will learn about inheritable attributes in living things and that natural variations in offspring still occur.
English: Children will learn to write a setting description, focusing on atmosphere and how a setting can tell us more about a character. We will also be comparing characters from Macbeth to other contemporary character from other forms of media.
Art: Children will use their learning in English to create some fantastic Macbeth inspired art.
