In the ‘Fight the Power’ expedition, Year 8 have been studying Macbeth as our anchor text. We have been focusing on the theme of power and how Macbeth’s power rises and falls during the course of the play as well as the power dynamics between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.
Students have been so engaged and working really hard getting their teeth stuck into Shakespeare so we are very excited about our upcoming fieldwork!
To support our expedition students, in Year 8 will be visiting Leeds Playhouse to watch a performance of Macbeth.
XP East will be attending on Wednesday the 13th March. We will be leaving during school time but as it is an afternoon showing we expect to be back at school between 4-4:30pm, depending on traffic.
XP will be attending on Tuesday the 19th March. Students will be setting off promptly so please make sure your child arrives no later than 8:30am.
Students will need to bring a pen, water bottle and packed lunch. Lunch will be provided for children on Free School Meals.
As always, the school will provide fieldwork free of charge but if you would like to support us please see our voluntary parental contribution letter.
If you have any queries about this fieldwork, please email [email protected] if your child is at XP or [email protected] if your child is at XP East.
Thank you!
