Reception Duckling Class @FP Celebrate 'Our Beautiful Colours' and 'Black History Month'

This week, Duckling Class read the wonderful book “The Colours of Us” by Karen Katz. The story inspired us to think about how each of us has our own special, beautiful skin colours,  like honey, cinnamon, caramel, or chocolate and how these colours make our world so bright and unique!

As part of our Black History Month celebrations, we talked about the importance of recognising and celebrating who we are, where we come from, and the beauty in our diversity. The children created their own self-portraits, mixing paints to match their individual skin tones. 

We had lovely conversations about how our skin colours are all special and how together, we make a classroom full of warmth, love, and pride.

We’re so proud of our Ducklings for celebrating themselves and each other, and for learning that every colour is beautiful. It was joyful way to honour Black History Month and the wonderful diversity in our world!
