Black History Month is such important month. It gives us a chance to celebrate some famous people who have worked so hard to improve the lives of others.

During Black History Month, we researched our favourite role model from past and present. We found out about the struggles black people had to overcome for equal rights such as the Civil Rights Movement as well as amazing achievements like helping NASA send spaceships into space!

We then created posters as part of our schools Black History Month competition!

In Owens class we learnt about Nana

Kofi Twumasi-Ankrah who was the Queen’s first black equerry.  This meant he was the Queen’s personal assistant.

We learnt that he is a Ghanaian born officer and a veteran of the war in

Afghanistan and Iraq.  We learnt that his job as an equerry is considered to be one of the most important roles in the royal household.

We also learnt that Ghana is a country in West Africa and found out some facts about it.

In Zephaniah class, we looked took part Halloween activities such as 3D pop-ups, character puppets and pumpkin faces.

It was spooktastic!
