Anti Racism events in KS1

Children have been learning about Black History Month. We have had assemblies celebrating diversity. In class we have been reading books about different cultures. Lemon Tree class were inspired by a book we read to create imaginary worlds. On Friday children wore red, to show racism the red card. 


















Reception- Trip to the Library

Pear Tree enjoyed a trip to Plumstead Library. The librarian read us 'The Midnight Library' by Kohara and told us how we could get our own library card to take books out to share with our families. We looked at some stories with our friends and have selected some to take back to class. We are looking forward to more trips in the future. 



















Year 1 History

 This term in History, we talked about the past and discussed events from a long time ago. We shared pictures of our families and created our own family tree.






Black History Month in Nursery

 

Our little learners wore red to “show the red card to racism” and celebrate Black History Month! During carpet time, we learned about inspiring Black heroes like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Barack Obama. The children also enjoyed dancing to “One Love” by Bob Marley, sharing messages of love, equality, and unity.












Fun Day at Nursery

 

Our nursery children had a wonderful time exploring the outdoors! They developed their Physical Skills through active play, used Numicon to explore numbers and patterns in Maths, and deepened their Understanding of the World by observing nature and working together. Every moment was filled with fun, curiosity, and discovery!
