Crew

This October CREW launched some new and exciting black history school workshops; which we piloted during black history month.

The workshops were met with excellent feedback and excitement all round!

The workshops on offer are for KS1 and KS2. For key stage 1 we have the all new ‘Mary Seacole workshop’ which follows our heroine Mary as she helps people with cholera in Panama, heals people with yellow fever in Jamaica and then goes to help the soldiers in the Crimean war. As usual all children have a role to play and we follow Mary as she faces hardship and adversity while trying to help the soldiers in the front line.

For key stage 1 and 2 there is the amazing game show called Origins. This workshop explores the ‘Origins’ of black history. Children explore the beginnings of slavery and migration and explore achievement and invention. The children are split into teams and win points on how much they know and are challenged to life on a slave ship!

Our other great workshop for key stage 2 is WW2 Commonwealth Contributions. This workshop is based on our very popular WW2 workshop but it is enhanced to go into ‘How the war was actually won!’ and to include the commonwealth contributions of African American GI’s and West Indian RAF. Children are exposed to the reality of WW2 and how those contributions from the U.S, India and Africa really helped to save our bacon!

See our black history school workshops brochure page.
