Black History Month

Today, Agnes (one of our school Governors) came to work with key stage one and to teach the children about Adinkra printing from Ghana in Africa to celebrate Black History Month. The children used different symbols (which have different names and have different meanings) to create their own prints by hand. Thank you to Agnes from all of us in Year 1 and 2, the children really enjoyed the activity and producing their own art work.
