Celebrating Diversity In Our Work: |
This year, to commemorate Black History Month, each class had a key black figure to find out about and they created a piece of work either about them or about Black artists.
These were: Claudia Jones, Mary Seacole, Floella Benjamin, Malorie Blackman, Kelly Holmes, Alex Scott, Lilian Bader and Josephine Baker. In Year 3, the children looked at Jean-Michel Basquiat and Year 6 looked at the four artists: Frank Bowling, Keith Piper, Sonia Boyce and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye.
In our last Achievers assembly of October, the children shared what they had found out and their amazing work they had completed.

"To celebrate Black History Month, Year 6 drew a piece of artwork from four different artists. Frank Bowling does beautiful abstract art that is blended together. Keith Piper does feminine portraits. Sonai Boyce is print and mixed media. Lynette Yiadom-Boakye does portraits and hidden features of black people. We also learnt about Lilian Bader. Lilian Bader was one of the first black British women to join the armed forces. Did you know that Lilian was orphaned at the age of nine and went to live in a convent (a school run by nuns). In 1939, she started to work at a canteen at a military base."
