To celebrate Black History month, Mead has chosen to celebrate black authors. Year 4 read a story called Sulwe by the award winning author Lupita Nyong'o. It follows the story of a little girl who wishes for her dark skin to be lighter. Throughout the story, she learns that true beauty comes from within. After listening to the story, the pupils in Italy class had to write a book review and design a new front cover for the story.
Sophia drew her favourite part of the story and explained why. "I liked how close Day and Night were as sisters- the brightest of the day and the darkest of night. Very different but they both needed each other. I particularly loved the illustrations. "
