Congo Class has been researching somebody totally amazing! As part of our history curriculum, we have been finding out more about the life of Floella Benjamin. Beginning with the amazing book she wrote, Coming to England, we explored how Floella travelled across to England from the West Indies to settle in a new chilly country, England! Children researched online to find out more about her life and her achievements.
We couldn’t believe how she not only became a children’s TV presenter, but also started up her own TV production company. And she received an award from The Queen, as well as becoming a member of the House of Lords! Ms Perry couldn’t believe she has run London Marathon ten times! Here are some of the great timelines we made.
