Rosa Parks Day

On December 1st 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama and sparked the American Civil Rights movement of the 20th century.

She stayed involved in the civil rights movement throughout her lifetime, aligning with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in the 1960s, and then the Black Power movement in the 1970s. In the 1980s, she co-founded the Raymond and Rosa Parks Institute for Self-Development, which educates young people about the civil rights movement. Rosa Parks died in 2005.

Today we celebrate the life and works of Rosa Parks on her birthday and how she helped start a movement that would see the world change for the better.

Classroom Displays

If you’re looking for some inspiration to help make learning more fun and engaging for kids in their own time, why not try and a splash of creativity to a spare section of the classroom and make a dedicated display area where the children can pin up their favourite pieces of work all to do with the topic of Rosa Parks.

Copyright update regarding 'Home Learning Resource Packs'

Our standard terms, conditions and copyright rules restrict the direct sharing of our resources through online portals, shared drives, school websites and social media. We also ask that resources are not printed and shared amongst teachers.

However we realise that due to the current climate and the nature of these home learning packs means that these rules are restricting the main purpose of the packs: helping teachers to provide a structured home learning experience for their classes.

With this in mind, this, and our other 'Home Learning Resource Packs' will be exempt from the above rules. We do however ask that the packs are not made available for PUBLIC download through any means and are only shared with your immediate colleagues and the parents of the children in your school. Where possible, please continue to direct other teachers to our website to download the resources for themselves.

These amended rules will remain in place for the duration of the school closures. Once the closures are at an end our standard copyright rules, terms and conditions will come back into place and we would expect all copies of the resources as to be removed from shared drives, parent/teacher portals and all services such as see-saw etc.

Thank you for your cooperation.
