Teacher's Comments
We are the wonderful Luther King Class named after Martin Luther King Jr.
Civil Rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. never backed down in his stand against racism. He was a courageous hero who inspired millions of people to right a historical wrong. He was born at a time when there were deeply unfair laws that did not allow black people to enjoy the same rights and freedoms as white people in the USA.
His world-famous speeches and non-violent protests inspired public support for the civil rights movement, which was centred on treating different races equally. His most famous speech is the “I have a dream” speech which was delivered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. Our class is built on respect and perseverance. We show respect for each other and ourselves by always doing and trying our best, both in our work and in our actions. Kindness and hard work is how we succeed in the classroom and in every aspect of our lives. Perseverance means we try and try again, even if we fail. We are not scared to fail otherwise we will never learn how to do better. We value honesty and curiosity, recognising when we’re not sure and asking questions to understand. Luther King class are compassionate and courageous learners!
This year Luther King Class have an exciting year ahead of them. The children will experience a 'world of pure imagination' when we explore the amazing story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We'll become real life chocolatiers on our engage day as we learn about chocolate, whilst designing and creating our very own chocolates. In History, we are going back in time to ancient Greece and will be taking an imaginary look around rumbling volcanoes in our Geography sessions. We then continue our fabulous learning journey into The Incredible Stone Age. We cannot wait to learn about Neanderthals and become archaeologists!
We look forward to sharing our wonderful work with you throughout the year. We are very excited about our learning journey and will endeavour to learn and grow every step of the way, no matter what challenges we face. Perseverance and courage will be the foundations to help us grow this year.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
