All Souls C of E Primary School
Black History Month
As you are no doubt aware, October is Black History Month in the UK where we celebrate the history, arts and culture of Black British people, past and present.
This year, nationally, the focus is on black women and their achievements.
At All Souls, each class will be studying:
- The life story of one inspiring black woman (each class will choose a different person)
- Looking at a different inspirational person from arts and culture or sport
- Researching one significant event in black history
In addition to the above, we will be having a daily music challenge in Collective Worship, engaging children in a homework project for half term and listening to stories from black culture. Our older children will also be exploring what is meant by white privilege and the impact it can have on people’s lives.
As well as teaching about the importance of learning about each other’s history and culture, we all have the responsibility to engage in positive and open discussions about race and racism both in school and at home.
To support you with this, you may find the resource below helpful.
