This fun and original assembly is designed to teach children all about Black History Month, including: -What Black History Month is; -Why we have Black History Month; -What life has been like for Black British people in the past and what it is like today; -Providing examples of influential Black British people and what they have achieved; -How Black History Month is celebrated. The slides are visually-engaging and well-presented, and the subject matter is tailored to the interests and needs of young people. It includes links to well-chosen videos to emphasise/ reinforce key points, in addition to song suggestions. There is enough here for a 30-35 minute assembly (it is 21 slides long), but of course you can cut bits out/ tailor to your own individual needs. No further resources are required, everything that you need to present the assembly is included. I would say that the assembly is ideally pitched at KS2, but both KS3 and KS1 would be able to access it with only minor vocabulary/ language adaptations. The slides are fairly self-explanatory, but I’ve included guidance notes to assist the speaker. Hope that you find this useful!

The discovery of the Ivory Bangle Lady is a great way to bring black British history into your history lessons. The Ivory Bangle Lady is important in developing an understanding of the diverse history and cultural heritage of Britain. The Ivory Bangle Lady’s remains were found in York and showed that she lived during Roman Britain. Recent DNA tests have shown that she had African heritage, which illustrates that people with African ancestry have been in Britain since the Romans came to Britain. She also had wealth which was evident in the jewellery and other expensive items that she was buried with. There are still a lot of unknowns which is perfect for a history lesson because there are opportunities for children to come up with their own ideas. The resources in this pack will get your children analysing 12 pieces of evidence, just like archaeologists, to sort the relevant evidence from the irrelevant, and to use the evidence to justify theories. They will ask their own question to investigate. With the help of research in the form of notes by two fictional archaeologists, they will answer questions and generate their own ideas about the Ivory Bangle Lady. Finally, they will summarise their knowledge by writing a museum plaque about the Ivory Bangle Lady. There are two levels of difficulty included, plus editable versions so you can adapt this to your students. There is also a worksheet on key vocabulary covered in the activities. This resource is suitable for KS2. You will receive: 6 PDFs 5 PDFS for the easier level 7 editable PPTX files (text is editable, images/layout aren’t)
