Year 3 - Black History Month

Date: 16th Oct 2025 @ 12:11pm

This week, our Year 3 children have been learning about Ruby Bridges as part of Black History Month. They were inspired by Ruby’s bravery as the first African American child to attend an all-white school in New Orleans in 1960. Through stories, videos, and discussions, the children explored themes of courage, fairness, and standing up for what is right. To deepen their understanding, they wrote diary entries from Ruby’s point of view, imagining her thoughts and feelings during that historic time. Their writing showed great empathy and reflection, reminding us all that one brave person can help change the world.
