Significant Historical Figures.... Aretha Franklin

Today in our Monday whole school cultural assembly, we have studied the famous person, Aretha Franklin!

We learnt all about Aretha's early life as a gospel singer and how this shaped her life.  We learnt about how her father was instrumental in seeing her talents and allowing her to show these to the world!  We learnt about how she was very good friends with people like Martin Luther King and supported him on his endeavours to promote equality for everyone.  The children enjoyed listening to a few of her songs like RESPECT and we related this back to our Golden Rules in school.  We love Aretha's songs as they promote being a good person...just like a Park Streeter does!
