Year 3 have had a fantastic Black History Week. We began by exploring our own life events before moving on to explore the inspirational Rosa Parks. We even used drama to bring the 1955 bus boycott to life. We were astonished to learn that Rosa was arrested for refusing to give her bus seat to a white man.
