On November 19th all S1 pupils enjoyed the department’s annual Elizabethan Experience.  This exciting event is an integral part of  Term 2, in which the pupils complete their study of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet.   Throughout the afternoon, pupils got a chance to experience numerous Elizabethan activities ranging from watching a medieval magician to participating in archery and   jousting.
