Black History Day

On Thursday 19th October, the children at Edna G. Olds Academy participated in a Black History Day. Each class was given a topic to research and the children enjoyed finding out about the different aspects of black history. In Year 6, the children researched what Africa was like prior to colonisation and were interested to find out about the continent's rich political, scientific and literary history. The slave trade, musical influence, politicians, scientists and sportspeople were also researched by children across the school.
