Celebrating Black History Month in Year 2 English!

Today, our young learners delve into the rich tapestry of Black history, discovering its significance and the remarkable individuals who have shaped it. From Rosa Parks to Martin Luther King Jr., Barack Obama, and beyond, they explored the inspiring journeys of those who paved the way for equality and justice.

As part of our Literature Fridays, students were captivated by the audiobook “The Shade of Cocoa,” following Bella on a journey of self-discovery and embracing the beauty of her skin colour. Through Bella’s story, they learned the powerful message that while we may be different, we are all equally valuable and essential.

Here at DES Elementary, we believe in fostering understanding, empathy, and appreciation for diversity in all its forms.
