Class 5 presented Arthur Wharton's Story during Key Stage Assembly today as part of raising children's awareness about Black History. The class confidently recited Alec William's poem about Arthur Wharton's impressive sporting career and how he was the world's first black professional footballer in Britain. The children loved that he played for Rotherham! Thank you Class 5 for a powerful assembly, we heard your voices clearly and very child in school now knows who Arthur was.

Head boy Alex and head girl Darcie left the children with a black history challenge - can they present a presentation of some sort on another influential figure? It could be a poem, a dance, a piece of writing or artwork. Entries to be given to Alex and Darcie on Monday. See Class 5's page for more information.
