On Tuesday, 24th of June, a special visitor came to Wykeham Primary School. Mark came to our school to help year 6 make ‘A Play in a Day’. We were split into 4 groups (one for each act) the play was: A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare.
The day started out with one group going to the KS2 hall and the rest making props, such as: Fairy masks, swords and two people making a magic flower which was just a decorated spoon! The people who went to the hall practiced their act, we had to dress up and most people’s costumes were ridiculous like Puck, who had green feet, a shower cap and swimming goggles. All throughout the day each group had a turn of practicing and decorating props, at the end of the day we performed our play to year 4. Every time one act finished, another act would come on, so there was sometimes four people playing one character (which got confusing at times). 
Probably the funniest part was the play inside the play, performed by some workers where Nick Bottom constantly stabbed himself even when he fell to the floor, and a boy played a girl who also constantly stabbed themselves as well. Near the end of the play, our end of school bell went off (that’s why we were a little late out)!
