Activity 2 Black History Month
In the Autumn term, all the children at Preston will be looking at Black History Month. Every class will pick a person or event to focus on, as well as take the opportunity to promote discussions on equality, diversity and culture during their class assembly time.
The aim of the Black History Month project is to raise the awareness and profile of the contribution of black historical figures to the development of the modern world. At Preston we feel it is vital to broaden our students’ horizons and fully recognise the contributions of the black community.
