Our current theme is 'Stopping Slavery'

Stopping Slavery! Is a thematic unit based around the history of slavery. We start by learning what slavery is, looking at some of the reasons behind it and examples of it, before moving on to find out about slavery in Europe, Asia, Africa and America

throughout history. Then, we learn about two key people who were instrumental in making slavery illegal, before investigating

modern day slavery and what we can do to stand against it, like the courageous abolitionists of the past.
