In this Key Stage 2 Lesson we examine the Black Poppy Rose, a symbol designed to recognise the contributions of African, Black, West Indian, Pacific Island and Indigenous communities to wars that date back to the 16th century.
Attached is a short video from the founder, Selena Carty, followed by some questions and discussion points for your and your group, and extended writing exercises for your students to work on afterwards. I’ve also attached a blank poppy template for your students to have a go at designing their own poppy or having a go and drawing the Black Poppy Rose.
We also have a GCSE lesson on the Black Poppy Rose which goes into more detail and contains a longer interview with Selena Carty, of part of a lecture she delivered at SOAS (School of Oriental & African Studies) University.
