On Tuesday 10th October, the School took part in the ‘Great Big Live’ Assembly to celebrate Black History Month. This year’s theme was ‘Celebrating Sisters’. The Great Big Live Assembly showcased some of the stories of amazing Black women who have made our world a better place. The assembly was hosted by BBCs Gemma Hunt, a well-known presenter of Swashbuckle and Songs of Praise and Jeriah Kibusi, a BAFTA award-winning 12 year old journalist.
The assembly helped children to see:
- Why celebrating Black History matters
- What difference Black women have made and still make to our world.
‘I loved hearing about how women can make a huge impact in our world and how inspirational they are. I remembered all the things I had learnt about Rosa Parks last year which was the best thing I learnt about’. A KS2 child quote after the event.
