Black History Month Chatter
Space Week
This week is Space Week! So we spent some time reading the story ‘Look Up’, about a little girl who loves all things space. We used our binoculars and telescopes to “look up” just like she did. We talked about some of the things we might see in Space, and talked about some of the people that had been to space in real life. Did you know, Mae Jemison was the first African American woman to travel into space?! #blackhistorymonth #spaceweek

The colour of us
We read ‘The Colour of Us’ today as part of our PSHE lesson, which linked really well with our learning of Black History Month. We spent some time looking at our own face in the mirror and talking about what we could see. We talked about the ‘skin colour rainbow’ in the book and added our own hands to the rainbow. Did you know that every persons skin colour is unique to them?! That’s part of what makes us special 🥰

Learning what makes us special
Today, we read a story called ‘Hey you!’ by Dapo Adeola. This is a story about hope and dreams – we can dream anything, and we can be anything. It’s full of positive affirmations which we loved repeating. We talked about all the different attributes that make us special, including our skin colour. #blackhistorymonth

Road Safety/Black History Month
Did you know that traffic lights were invented by Garrett Morgan? Well, Nursery do! Today, we talked about how traffic lights help to keep us and drivers safe on our roads – J even said he is like a superhero for stopping cars from crashing as we talked about traffic lights giving cars each a turn to move safely. We had a talk about how to stay safe on roads when in a car, and how to cross the road safely.
Black History Month
We used play dough to create faces, and then used pipe cleaners and google eyes to make a smiley face. We talked about how all our faces are different – different colour hair, different colour skin, different colour eyes too! We read a beautiful book called The Colours of Us.
