The Year 10 History class have been going back in time and exploring the growth of Pop Culture from the 1950s to present day and significantly the lasting changes these moments have had on our culture.
Whilst changes to fashion, entertainment, technology, politics and gender roles have engaged the students, and lead to some engaging and passionate discussions, they have demonstrated a keen enthusiasm for the music as we have progressed from Bill Hayley and the Comets, through Elvis, Madonna, the Bee Gees, Queen, Michael Jackson and Beyonce. There may still be time to for them to experience "Tubular Bells".
Students are displaying a strong understanding of how these key moments, events, individuals and experiences are a significant influence and inspiration on contemporary society.
