Year 6’s Maafa topic teaches them about Africa past and present and the development of the slave trade. It also explores Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, the causes and consequences of the European colonisation of Africa and the worldwide communities that make up the African diaspora.

Today they took part in an online workshop about the Transatlantic slave trade provided by Liverpool History Museum.

Years 1 – 6 listened to an important assembly to raise awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide. They all listened fantastically and learnt how to keep them and their families safe.

Here are Y6 enjoying their workshop afterwards.
