Leah, it looks like you're back at school! | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
Well, this is where we think Shakespeare began his education. | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
He would have been about six or seven. | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
It's here where he would have learnt about Greek classics | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
Local children are going in right now to experience her Tudor | :00:58. | :01:08. | |
classroom. I've been finding out why | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
William Shakespeare Without even knowing it, | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
we owe quite a lot of the language It's thought he came up with words | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
like excellent, gloomy, and even coined the phrase | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
"budge an inch." The thing is with Shakespeare, | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
you don't have to understand What I love about him is, if you get | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
a grasp of characters and themes, And that's happening | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
at this school in Cheshire. Kids are tackling one of his more | :01:40. | :01:43. | |

plays have been going on for. Until about seven years old, | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
I didn't really know about, What I find impressive is the fact | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
that he wrote around 38 plays Shakespeare really made a name | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
for himself when he travelled to London, and one man who knows | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
pretty much everything about Shakespeare is | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
author Michael Rosen. A girl from a primary school once | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
told me, she said, the thing about Shakespeare is, you get | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
to the big stuff really quickly. You get to stuff like love and death | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
and greed and jealousy and hate, all those big feelings, | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
and you get to them really quickly. For these children, the hope is, | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
