This week, for Black History week, Year 2 have focused on learning about Mary Seacole.
To start the week, the children watched a video introducing them to Mary Seacole and what she is well known for. The video explained that she lived over 100 years ago and that she was born in Jamaica, her father was Scottish and her mother was Jamaican. The children created a timeline of events of Mary's life, created fact files, painted portraits and drew Jamaican flags.
In addition to this, each morning, the children have learnt about other key figures within History and have drawn pictures of these people: Kamala Harris, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Mary Seacole and Rosa Parks.
