Black History Week in Y2

The week beginning 23 19 17 is St. Wilfrid’s Black History Week.

In Y2 we will look at the life and work of the first African American President of the United States of America Barak Obama, and also  Mary Seacole, the Jamaican nurse who helped soldiers during the Crimean war. If any of the children would like to bring in research about these famous people then that would be wonderful.
