STORY TELLING SESSION
Much Ado About Nothing is a comedy by William Shakespeare thought to have been written in 1598 and 1599, as Shakespeare was approaching the middle of his career. Much Ado About Nothing is generally considered one of Shakespeare's best comedies because it combines elements of mistaken identities, love, robust hilarity with more serious meditations on honour, shame, and court politics. Open for children from 5 years to 10 years old.
The storytelling session will help your child:
get acquainted with the language and learn new words and phrases
be more attentive and keen to listen and understand.
be more imaginative and open to creative ideas and free thinking
meet and interact with children of similar age groups
enjoy and better understand what they are reading (this helps them in learning their subjects better too)!
Time: 2.30 p.m. to 3.30 p.m.
