Following ‘Black History Month’ St Mark’s celebrated black history with a special week dedicated to learning about the iconic people who have inspired, influenced and changed the world. All week children have been producing amazing work and have been learning about the famous black people who have made a difference to our lives. Yesterday we held a special assembly where children were able to share their work with the whole school.
