INSPIRING PEOPLE

In class we have been learning about INSPIRING PEOPLE. I asked the question what/who is an inspiring person. Some of the childrens ideas were

• Someone who is GENEROUS
• A person who makes people what to do something.
• A person who creates change - positive.
• A person who overcomes obstacles and works to benefit others
• Someone who thinks about others over themselves.

We have looked at Dr Seuss and Mahatma Gandhi in class. Last week I noticed the children were amazed at the concept of segregation and the civil rights movements of the 1960s.
Today we looked at the life briefly of Martin Luther King, the children found him inspirational but the concept that because of the colour of your skin you had to sit in certain areas away from others as ridiculous.

The children need to choose an inspirationl person to research and learn about. Some children have already started to collect their information, many thanks for this support. As libraries are closed, I have asked children to explore the internet at home and to ensure they write the website down as each child will create a bibliography of their resources.
If you are unable to print, please email your child's resources to me and I will print it out.
