Have you considered what you are doing in your school to celebrate Black History Month this October? We are putting on an amazing event with Freshwater Theatre specially for Slough Schools.
The sessions is called “Black History: A Celebration” and involves a combination of storytelling and interactive drama activities to explore important events and people from British black history. As the children discover more about the abolition of slavery and the Windrush generation, they will also encounter some unsung heroes from Black history.
Freshwater theatre have been inspiring, engaging and educating children in nursery, primary and secondary schools for over 20 years. They have become one of the most respected and established drama-in-education companies in the UK. Working with over 150,000 children each year, they enjoy long and ongoing relationships with hundreds of the schools they visit.
The session is available on Friday 12th October at 10am at The Curve. We have 120 places available and we would particularly recommend the session for years 2 & 3.
As this is a special show we are asking for contribution towards the cost, we suggest £1 per pupil, with teachers and teaching staff going free. If you cannot afford the full cost or can only come if it is free, please do get in touch to discuss it further as we would very much like your involvement.
To book, please email us and let us know how many places for children, and how many adults will be accompanying them by end of next week (21 September).
