Black History Month
Tue 12 Oct 2021B:M2001
DIG DEEP, LOOK CLOSER, THINK BIGGER
After the Half Term break the whole school will be dedicating the first week back to learning about Black History. Children in the Lower School will be learning about the achievements of some famous black men and women and in the Upper School, the children will be learning all about Windrush Day. We hope that the children will love learning about these key historical figures/events and have a deeper understanding of our Black History. If the children would like to do any research before this week, that would be amazing! I have attached two links to help them with their research.
