KS2 Homework
comments of the week

Thank you for your wonderful responses to last week’s task. It was great to hear who is an inspiration to you all. 

A particular well done to Aaliyah and Rose, both in Year 4! 

Why is it important that we continue to remember and celebrate brave people such as Martin Luther King Jr? 
If we could celebrate someone else for making positive changes in society, who might it be and why?

It's important to celebrate people like MLK as he stood up for black people and based on what I've read and remember he is like Rosa Parks and he helped us be seen in society equal to white people and have the same rights as they do. He actively spoke up for what he believed in and his famous speech ' I Have a Dream....' 

For someone today: Sir David Attenborough as I like his documentaries about animals. I think he helps us human appreciate animals. His documentaries are so interesting and the filmed really good as you can see really close up. He could help with animal extinction and help with positive changes to help save our planet.

I think it is very important that we continue to celebrate and remember brave people like Martin Luther King who fought for racial equality.  I believe we should celebrate Ruth Bader Ginsburg (known as the notorious RBG) she became the second woman and first Jewish woman in the Supreme Court.  RBG served 27 years on the highest court in the US, she dedicated her life’s work to women’ rights and fought for gender equality.  She has many famous quotes but one of my favourites is “When I’m sometimes asked ‘When will there be enough [women on the Supreme Court]?’ and I say ‘When there are nine,’ people are shocked. But there’d been nine men, and nobody’s ever raised a question about that.” She died aged 87, still working, endlessly campaigning for gender equality, becoming a feminist and legal icon in her 80’s.   We need more role models like RBG who use their strength and knowledge to show that women MUST have the same opportunities as men and that equality is our right, women are 50% of the world population!
