Year 3 really enjoyed an introduction into Black History. We chatted about what it is, about the past and an introduction to Mary Seacole. Very sensible comments were given, well done! We ended with some children dancing to a song about black people changing the world.
The children were good at spotting quotes from around the classroom by different inspiration black people.

Our Black History Month work continued by learning about Walter Tull,, who was professional footballer and a soldier in World War One. We learnt that he had to give up his career as a footballer to help out in the war, but he then became recognised as the first black officer to lead white British soldiers into battle.
