Black History Month 2020 - Celebrating Diversity
Year 3 BHM
To celebrate Black History Month we have been looking at two famous inventors called Lewis Latimer and Garratt Morgan. The children enjoyed learning facts about these inventors and the struggles they faced to be recognised for their accomplishments.
We then went on to make posters to showcase words we felt described these people and their lives.
Year 1 BHM Assembly
Reception - Big Hair, Don't Care
In Reception we read Big Hair, Don't Care as part of Black History Month. To celebrate our differences we had a 'Big Hair Day'. Here are some photographs.
BIg Hair, Don't Care
Swans and Kingfishers enjoyed learning about famous British Sports women for Black History Month. We planned and took part in a mini Olympics. We participated in javelin, shot put, hurdles and mini relay races. It was fun!
In Year 2 we learned about
- Lilian Bader
- Stormzy
- Marcus Rashford and
- John Kent.
We then mixed with the other class and explained what our favourite part of Black History Month was and why.
" I enjoyed learning about John Kent because he inspired lots of people to go into the policeforce"
" I liked Marcus Rashford because he's so kind and generous. He's also brave because he spoke to the government"
"I like learning about Lilian Bader because she encouraged lots of girls to go into the airforce"
Year 2 - African Dance Workshop
Aisha explains why she enjoyed learning about Stormzy as part of Black History Month
Year 4
To celebrate Black History Month, Year 4 were luck enough to take part in an African Dance workshop. We learnt new moves and enjoyed putting them together in a sequence.
We also worked in partners across the year group to research about black people who played a significant role in the past and present to fight for change and equality. We then combined our research to create a quilt work pattern.
