The month of October is Black History month in the uk , and Class 1 had the chance to celebrate and explore black history and important figures, as well as the culture and heritage of Africa.

Class 1 met Rocket and her brother Jamal and they traveled to space!! This book is written by Nathan Bryon and kids really loved it!! We built up our own rocket and we made ourselves astronauts. We also practised with the letter  “a” for astronaut and we made a lovely craft 😃

We spoke about Rosa Parks and the idea of “fairness” . Using drama we tried to act out the scene from the bus and we found out that some people were treated unfairly because they were different.We also talked about Martin Luther king and we watched a part of his famous speech. After that we drew our own “ dreams” and we made hand prints creating a wreath.

Finally , we explored the culture of Africa. We  learned that in Africa they use masks for special occasions; so we used paper plates and feathers and we designed and decorated own masks. Also, we listened reggae music and we made our own maracas using plastic bottles and lentils. We had great time!! 😃😃
