Black History Month Assembly!

This fun and original assembly is designed to teach children all about Black History Month, including:
-What Black History Month is;
-Why we have Black History Month;
-What life has been like for Black British people in the past and what it is like today;
-Providing examples of influential Black British people and what they have achieved;
-How Black History Month is celebrated.

The slides are visually-engaging and well-presented, and the subject matter is tailored to the interests and needs of young people. It includes links to well-chosen videos to emphasise/ reinforce key points, in addition to song suggestions.

There is enough here for a 30-35 minute assembly (it is 21 slides long), but of course you can cut bits out/ tailor to your own individual needs. No further resources are required, everything that you need to present the assembly is included. I would say that the assembly is ideally pitched at KS2, but both KS3 and KS1 would be able to access it with only minor vocabulary/ language adaptations.

The slides are fairly self-explanatory, but I’ve included guidance notes to assist the speaker. Hope that you find this useful!
