Black History Month 2021

 
During assembly today, we found out about the life of Rosa Parks. She didn’t know that on that day- 1st December 1955 it was going to be any different, but she decided the time had come to take a stand against the unfairness that she saw around her.
We talked about how sometimes it can be difficult to speak out but sometimes all it takes is a single courageous voice to begin to put things right again. During reflection we thought about how together we can work for a better world.

In classes, the children found out about a famous black person including Marcus Rashford, Barack Obama, Mae Jemison, Walter Tull, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King. The children presented this information to the rest of the school trying to persuade them to vote for their significant person. The children voted for who they thought had made the biggest impact on society. The winner was…..Marcus Rashford. Well done Reception!
