Black History Month

This morning Onyx class have been thinking deeply about how people in society are treated. We wrote diary entries as if we were someone who was treated differently and how they might make a stand and get people to see them as an equal.

We then watched a Newsround special based on Black History Month and shared our thoughts whether it matters if people are different. Andrew summed it up beautifully: “It doesn’t matter about anything as we are all different in lots of ways. If we were all the same life would be boring and there wouldn’t be people to do the different jobs we need.” We also discussed recent events in American and how history has influenced how society acts.
