Black History Month Music 2022, by Mrs Nunwick
Date: 17th Oct 2022 @ 9:46am
We have focused on the music of 'hidden' Black classical composers and artists this year for Black History Month . We have listened to the music of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Scott Joplin and Florence Price. Each faced prejudice and discrimination within their field and in their everyday life. They overcame those obstacles to produce inspirational music that was celebrated then and today, played by world famous orchestras and musicians all over the world. Their music combined the classical tradition and music inspired by spirituals and music & dance from African culture. You can see videos of some of their most famous pieces here.

My Skin, Your Skin, by Mrs Toft
Date: 21st Sep 2022 @ 3:22pm
As a school we all explored the book, ‘My Skin, Your Skin’.

We then used skin colour pencil crayons to draw our self-portraits focusing on our individual and unique features. At this school we are ‘All Different, All Equal’. We may look different but we have lots of things in common!
