We had some incredible discussion about the fact that her experiences when first arriving in the UK were not positive, as some people made judgements about her based on the colour of her skin. We reflected on our differences, our similarities, and talked about how our country is made up of great people from all over the world, each bringing amazing elements of their home countries for us to enjoy and appreciate! This week, Year 1 watched footage and looked at pictures from Notting Hill Carnival! We loved looking at the brightly coloured clothes. We talked about the word ‘culture’ and enjoyed seeing the celebration of black culture at the carnival! We finished the day by making our own beautiful carnival masks! ### Year 1 Floella Benjamin [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-floella-benjamin/FADC2F65-4CB7-4619-AEC0-0B770BCD7CB0.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-1-floella-benjamin/FADC2F65-4CB7-4619-AEC0-0B770BCD7CB0.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-floella-benjamin/1BF711E4-FFE5-4B16-886D-64BCADF5B077.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-1-floella-benjamin/1BF711E4-FFE5-4B16-886D-64BCADF5B077.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-floella-benjamin/6AF2F54F-2922-4795-851F-027F73293CEA.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-1-floella-benjamin/6AF2F54F-2922-4795-851F-027F73293CEA.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-floella-benjamin/CFF7EF36-B7C5-4719-809F-C8B24FD48CE3.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-1-floella-benjamin/CFF7EF36-B7C5-4719-809F-C8B24FD48CE3.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-floella-benjamin/1CC85054-F718-410D-AD9D-F874D31A1621.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-1-floella-benjamin/1CC85054-F718-410D-AD9D-F874D31A1621.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-floella-benjamin/409A5CDF-D3D9-4FB7-8282-20CD8B968B9D.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-1-floella-benjamin/409A5CDF-D3D9-4FB7-8282-20CD8B968B9D.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-floella-benjamin/319F9958-44EF-4C3E-81D5-65774B42632D.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-1-floella-benjamin/319F9958-44EF-4C3E-81D5-65774B42632D.jpeg) [ Nursery - 22.10.2020](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2020-10-22-13-48-12-nursery-22-10-2020) [Black History Month in Year 2 ](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2020-10-22-20-12-01-black-history-month-in-year-2) ![Delph Side Community Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/logo/Untitled_design_(10).png) #### Delph Side Community Primary School Eskdale Tanhouse Skelmersdale Lancashire WN8 6ED 01695 721881 #### Useful Links - [Ofsted Report](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted-report) - [Term Dates](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/termdates) - [Contact Us](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/contact) #### Social Media - [Facebook](http://facebook.com/Delph-Side-Community-Primary-School-584597861558880/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/delphside/) © Copyright 2018–2026 Delph Side Community Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
