Our Learning Journey \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Together Again<\/span><\/h2>\n

Black History Month at Dulwich Wood<\/span><\/h2>\n

Reception<\/strong><\/span> have been discussing diversity using the story \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcMixed\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 by Arree Chung<\/a>. Next week we will be learning all about Dr Moody, one of the first doctors of colour who lived in Peckham. He campaigned for equal rights for everyone, so we will keep on talking about what is fair. We will also be reading the story of Anansi and exploring some African music.<\/p>\n

Year 1<\/span><\/strong> have been focussing on inspirational black Sportsmen who have made a fantastic impact both on and off the field. We have chosen to look at Marcus Rashford (MBE), who is not only an incredible young footballer but has campaigned tirelessly to ensure thousands of children were provided free school meals during lock down. We have contrasted Marcus Rashford with Walter Tull who was not only the first black British footballer but the first black man to lead the British army into battle. We will be looking at his bravery both on and off the field.<\/p>\n

Year 2<\/span><\/strong> have been really engaged with learning about Black History this week. We started off by using our empathy goggles when looking at equality in the book \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcMixed\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 by Arree Chung<\/a>. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had rich discussions about diversity where the children had the opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions on this matter. We have started to learn about the journalist and activist Claudia Jones who is known for standing up for black people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rights. She is also recognised as the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcMother of Notting Hill Carnival.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Next week, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking forward to celebrating the end of term with a class carnival!<\/p>\n

Year 3<\/span><\/strong> Black History learning has involved making links with other subjects, in music we have been singing \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcI Wish I knew How It Would Feel To Be Free\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 by Nina Simone and finding out all about her. In our class text \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcHere We Are\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 we sang \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWhat a Wonderful World\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and learnt about Louis Armstrong. In science we have been finding out about the brilliant scientist Charles Henry Turner.<\/p>\n

Year 4\/5<\/span><\/strong> have been learning about the Windrush generation. First, we identified countries in the Caribbean and learnt about people of African descent in Britain before the WW2. We then role-played Caribbean immigrant’s arrival (in our best outfits) in Britain to understand the different experiences they had.<\/p>\n

Year 6<\/span><\/strong> have been looking at black representation and why it important. We discussed why it is essential to have positive role models and people that look like us in order to feel inspired. Year 6 have been using their empathy googles to understand the obstacles faced by many throughout history and the steps that have been taken to improve the future.<\/p>\n

Children will be designing \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcCelebration Cards\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 at school and bringing them home over the coming week. If you would like to place an order (cards, gift tags, wrapping paper and cups) please go to Cauliflower Group<\/a> to register, then enter the school code (7375) and your child\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s unique code which they can find on the top left corner of their order forms.

<\/h3>\n

Dulwich Wood Children Care about their Community<\/span><\/h3>\n

For our Harvest Festival this year, we will be supporting the KETRA Foodbank<\/a> (Kingswood Estate Tenants and Residents Association). Please donate tinned or dried food items. We will be collecting items at the gate every morning next week. Caring is one of our core values, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wonderful to see the children so involved in this project.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Maths at Home<\/span><\/h3>\n

Numbots<\/span><\/a>: Year 1 and Year 2 children have access to Numbots, a programme that allows children to boost their addition and subtraction skills.<\/p>\n

Times Table Rock Stars:<\/span><\/a> Year 2, Year 3, Year 4\/5 & Year 6 have access to Times Tables Rock Stars, a programme that allows them to practice their times tables.<\/p>\n

All classes have now been sent their logins and passwords home so please make sure your child is accessing it weekly. This can be done via the app or on the website itself.\u00c2\u00a0 The idea is that they play little and often, and this will significantly improve their mathematical understanding.<\/p>\n
