Topic
We were really proud of our Year 2s this week as we tackled a sensitive topic in History. We learned about Rosa Parks and the bus Boycott. The children showed fantastic understanding and empathy towards the situation for black people in America at the time. We were very impressed by the questions they had about this significant event in history, and their interest in how Rosa Parks changed the lives of black people in America.
