We have recently started our Famous Friday lessons where we are learning about values. Famous Friday teaches us about people who can inspire us to do good things in the world. This week we have explored the life and work of Nelson Mandela as there is so many amazing lessons to be learned from his life.

Nelson Mandela wanted people of all skin colours to have equal rights in South Africa. He spent 27 years in prison because of this. He became the first black president of South Africa and gave everyone equal rights. He is a global icon of peace and tolerance. He has left behind a legacy of love and equality.

We came up with adjectives that we could use to describe him and all of the work that he carried out during his lifetime. These included: brave, determined, kind, perseverant and hard-working.
