Class 8's FANTASTIC work on Black History Curriculum Week.

Date: 27th Oct 2020 @ 8:45am

During curriculum week the whole school looked at the Black History. Class 8 had studied Rosa Parks, who in 1955 travelling home on a bus, refused to stand up from her seat for a white person. This was against the law at the time and Rosa Parks was jailed and fined, however this one person’s stand ended up changing the law. We also studied Martin Luther King, who helped Rosa Parks among many to stand up for equal rights. The children took part in a variety of activities like acting out famous scenes, researching all about the life of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, writing fact files, drawing portraits and they carried out debates about equal rights where they raised questions and discussed them.
