Welcome to the latest edition of the Otters newsletter! Please click on the link below. The theme in Class 3 for this half-term is ‘America and the Slave Trade’. During this topic, our children will be exploring Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade and the causes and consequences of enslavement for enslaved people. The children will discover how the people of Britain benefited from the money and goods produced by the slave trade and will learn about the causes and consequences of the abolition of slavery in the 19th century, the worldwide African diaspora and the European colonisation in Africa. They will explore the lives and actions of black people in 20th century Britain and will understand how the Race Relations Act of 1965 became the first piece of British legislation to tackle racial discrimination. In Art this term, the children will explore some artwork surrounding our topic work on America, including graffiti style writing and Statue of Liberty sketching and drawing. Stay tuned for updates, announcements, and important information via Facebook, messenger and the school newsletter. Let’s make this Spring term a memorable one! Summer 1 The American Slave Trade |
