Guest Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Anyone done anything fantastic for Black History Month in a FSU? Am new to the school, Black History Month (October)has a very high profile. Have some ideas , but am worried because majority of chn have SEN or EAL and don't concentrate for more than a few mins in small group situations.

Will kep you informed Sue
AnonyMouse_3307 Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Not exactly "history" more cultural understanding, but the books like A is for africa and the rest in the series are great to discuss life in african villages and maybe set up role play areas where children can dress in african fabrics etc......having black dolls/families in role play, small world, learning afro-carribbean chants and songs, cooking afro-carribbean food, anasi stories are fun to hear and act out, these will be there all the time anyway but having a focus on afro-carribbean culture would be apprpriate in BHM I reckon.
Guest Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Thanks Guys. Do most of that anyway catma. We have 'Caribbean Cafe' once a month too. Will think about dressing up idea though.
