Hello boys and girls,

You may have heard the mention of ‘Blackout Tuesday’ yesterday, or if you’ve been watching the news you will have no doubt heard about the ‘Black Lives Matter’ (BLM) movement and the ongoing protests in America.

Blackout Tuesday: What is it and how are people taking part? https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/52893017

It is important to remember that this is an important worldwide issue and we must always make a conscious effort to support and uplift others by doing anything we can. As well as this we must always be making an active effort to overcome bigotry, prejudice and racist behaviour.

I’ve created 2 optional tasks, which I would love for you to try, but I ask that you put your best effort into them.

TASK 1
Make a poster for the Black Lives Matter movement.

TASK 2
Research BLM, racism or an important figure/leader who has advocated for anti-racism of any kind. You can create a poster, fact file, PowerPoint, Sway or video to present the information you have.
Some influential figures include: Martin Luther King Jr; Rosa Parks; Phillis Wheatley; and Barack Obama.
