Significant person study (DR TIM): David Bowie

Today in our Monday whole school cultural assembly, we have studied the famous person, David Bowie.

We learnt about David Bowie's life and how he showed his talents for music and the arts very early on in his life.  We learnt of his passion to succeed and his realisation that in order to stay current, he had to keep on reinventing himself.  We loved looking at pictures of his different inventions and at the costumes which made him really unique, different and interesting!

We loved watching a video of him performing, seeing him dance, sing and hold an audience.  We also loved watching a clip of when man first landed on the moon and thought that he must have been a very special person at the time as his music was played as this happened!

We very much related this to the British Value of 'Individual Liberty' and felt that he is a true example of being yourself and doing what you want to do.  We felt he was an inspiration to others!
