A reminder that G31’s POL for the expedition ‘What is Power?’ is on Tuesday at 5pm at Gateshead Central Library. Students will be performing the play Macbeth and explaining how different parts of their learning have taught them to think differently about the nature of power.
The event will begin at 5pm and end at 6:30pm.
Students are eating lunch in school at an earlier time than their regular daily lunch. We will be travelling to the venue for 1pm to rehearse in the space. We are travelling by foot. The forecast is cool with a chance of light showers.
On Tuesday G31 students will need:
- Black (or dark) clothing for the performance, ideally as plain as possible e.g. black jeans/trousers/skirt and black t-shirt. (XPG polo shirts are fine for this performance)
- Usual full kit including fully charged iPad and water bottle
- Comfortable walking shoes or trainers (not crocs)
- A coat
- Optional: A packed tea or healthy snacks if they want to eat before the presentation starts at 5.00pm.
Students have been working very hard preparing scenes from Macbeth, artwork inspired by issues of social justice, power structures in society, the power of the earth, forces and motion. We are so excited for you to see the way that students connect these ideas together in this PoL.
Due to the limited capacity of the venue, we ask that each student has a maximum of three family members at the performance on the evening please.
As per our home-school agreement, it is our expectation that every student has someone there to support as they step up to this challenge and grow their character. Students will then leave with their adults at the end of the PoL.
Please can you use this Google Form to let us know how many family members will be attending.
This POL is always fantastic and is a key moment in the student’s journey at XP. I can’t wait for you all to see it.
