Black History Month

Our Global Ambassadors, and the whole of Giraffes Class did an incredible job of planning and delivering our Black History Month event. Our current topic, Maafa has made us passionate about black rights and equality and this drove our vision for our celebrations. 

We had 3 teams and they planned differentiated learning for Bears, Tigers and Leopards. 

Sports Team

This team celebrated black sports people, including Marcus Rashford, Pele, Nicola Adams and Jesse Owens.























Arts Team

The Arts Team celebrated black people in the arts. They taught the children about Sade Abu, Floella Benjamin, and Yolanda Brown and created a playlist that children enjoyed working and dancing along to.





















Historical Figures Team

Our Historical Figures Team used some much-loved origami techniques to support their teaching of important black historical figures.

Enjoying a welcome snack break, we listened and watched out for curlews, skylarks, blackbirds, buzzards and crickets.  We spotted many wild flowers too.

We listened carefully before getting our harnesses on.  The instructor checked we were all safely buckled up and ready to go. Hmm...some slightly worried looks.  Here we go. Who's brave enough to go first? The bridge over the River Wye is 80 feet high and the first challenge is to climb over the railings.  We did it!  Now we can relax.
