The theme for Black History Month this year was "Saluting Our Sisters". In Year 4, the children researched an influential Black British woman of their choice from different industries including sports, politics, music, science and medicine, broadcasting and entertainment, literature and arts. They chose very interesting people such as the author Malorie Blackman, Mathematician Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon, Mary seacole, a war-time nurse, the tennis player Heather Watson or the singer Emili Sande.
Lucille chose to research Mary Seacole because shhe helped the soldiers in the war.
Nuhaa wanted to research the author Malorie Blackman. She found out the despite being rejected 82 times, she finally became a published author.
Izyan chose to find out all about the Scientist Maggie Aderin Pocock. She is inspirational in the field of space and Izyan is fascinated by this.
