A really interesting video; & whilst expressing outdated gender stereotype views of its time, the first 7:30 offers really relevant advice about simple resources that the young will enjoy playing with at home, helping prepare them for Reception. youtube.com/watch?v=CILg... @rofiya-tvi.bsky.social

I grew up with Winifred Atwell’s music & stories of her “78s” filling family parties in the 1950s. Only later did I learn she was the first Black artist to reach UK No.1, fronted her own TV shows, and opened a pioneering salon for Black women. My first #BHM assembly. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

At school we learn in many different and practical ways. A great example was Maths today. We were practicing recognising and making amounts to 10. We did this through play dough amounts, shaving foam, cut and stick, matching amounts and even a PC game @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social

Equality and cultural identity are not things we “do” for one month at TVI – they are woven through everyday school life. But Black History Month gives us an important opportunity to pause, reflect, deepen understanding and make that learning especially visible for our children. 1/2

Connections with your teacher are so important, and there’s nothing more effective than “can we have a quick chat when you’re available?” to resolve any worries you may have. We suggest arriving at 8:40 each morning so you have enough time… or directly after school.
