Black History

Date: 3rd Nov 2016 @ 9:46pm

Throughout the week Q3 have been learning all about the importance of equality. Debates have taken place and work based on discrimination, where the girls were given preferential treatment compared to the boys for a short time (this caused outrage amongst the boys, but was essentail to demonstrate inequality). We have looked at segregation, the slave trade and how we need to remember the history of black Americans.

In Guided Reading the class have celebrated the songs and looked closely at the lyrics of several black artists. Music has ranged from The Black Eyed Peas to John Newton (lyricist of Amazing Grace) who we found out was originally a slave trader.

It has been a most enjoyable week, ending with team tasks to research about significant black people from history.
