Black History Month 2022
As part of our work during Black History Month, October 2022, we looked at influential people in black history. We focused on inspirational quotes and achievements of both historic and modern-day people, with a particular focus on people from around the world.
Some of the influential people we learnt about were:
Marcus Rashford
Mary Seacole
Shaku Kanneh-Mason
Stormzy
Kelly Holmes
Barack Obama
We were proud of our Black History work and enjoyed sharing several assemblies where we spoke about the influential people we were focused on and listened to some Caribbean and Reggae music.
