Inspirational Figures Day.

Today in school every class has celebrated inspirational figures from history. Everyone researched a historical figure at home and brought 5 or more facts to share with their class. There were some AMAZING costumes and some very inspirational characters that changed the world in such positive and significant ways. Each class voted for their favourite costume and the inspirational figure with the most interesting facts that they enjoyed learning about the most. There were lots of important themes and concepts that were explored and discussed including women's rights, democracy, monarchy, inventions in technology and healthcare, invasion and society and culture including changes in clothing, transport, trade and daily life.

The History Ambassadors voted for the teacher with the best and most accurate costume. Congratulations to Miss Crossfield for her fantastic Cleopatra costume and to Mr Davison for his fantastic Roman Emperor costume!

Here are some of the adults in school dressed as their inspirational person or as a person from an era that had many positive impacts on our world today. See if you can spot Jane Austen, Edith Cavell, Frida Kahlo, Dian Fossey, 1960's hippies who oppose violence and war and a member of the Home Guard from the 1940's amongst others!
