St Mark's Catholic Primary School
In October, we celebrated UK Black History Month. The theme for this year was ‘Celebrating Our Sisters’.
We used this as an opportunity to study some inspirational women these included; Claudia Jones – the founder of Notting Hill Carnival, Dina Asher-Smith – an athlete, Floella Benjamin, Nicola Adams – A boxer, MP Diane Abbott, Malorie Blackman – an author and Baroness Doreen Lawrence an activist.
The children learnt about the impact that these inspirational women have had on society.
