Y6 -Black History Month17 October 2024 (by ragar) |
This year's Black History Month focuses on 'Reclaiming Narratives' and celebrating the successes of black people throughout history. Year 6 carried out some research on athlete Jesse Owens who impressively won 4 gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games. Despite his successes at the time, Jesse still faced significant prejudice and discrimination but he became a role model to other black athletes both then, and to this day. We enjoyed learning about his background and how he became such a talented athlete then we used the information to create biographies about him.
