Here at St Mary Magdalene Primary School, we strive to make sure that our pupils know what is going on in the world. In fact, we have Daily Dashboard monitors who pioneered this when we were all in school together.

Right now, something we need to talk about is #BlackLivesMatter

What do you know about it? Have you spoken about it with your family? With your friends?

Every day this week, we will be looking at and learning about an important person who has made an impact on #BlackLivesMatter in the past.

Monday’s VIP is Martin Luther King Jr. Here are some of our photos of us working on our factfiles to show what we have learned.

• Monday’s final pieces. Miss B and Miss Francis are very proud of their group!
• Tuesday’s VIP is Nelson Mandela. Here are our factfiles. We learned a lot by researching him and what he did.
• Wednesday is the turn of Ruby Bridges. Here’s what we have learned…
• Thursday’s VIP is Katherine Johnson. We really enjoyed finding out about her life.
