Black History Month - October 2024
October is Black History Month and as a school we have been engaging in a variety of activities to explore and celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of Black individuals throughout history. One of the key focuses has been reading books that celebrate a wide range of cultures and heritages, written by authors of colour. The children appreciated seeing different representations of characters in these books.
In addition to reading, students have participated in classroom discussions about the importance of Black History Month. They’ve explored why it’s crucial to recognize and honour the achievements of Black individuals, and how this recognition helps to combat racism, promote equality, and inspire future generations. They’ve learned that Black History Month is not just about reflecting on the past, but also about shaping a future that is more inclusive, respectful, and aware of the ongoing fight for justice and civil rights.
