Core Lesson Bristol Bus Boycott – Case Study

The Bristol Bus Boycott is included in this resource as little attention is usually paid in UK schools to the history of anti-racism in the UK itself. These lessons can be used as the first core lessons as an alternative to OTPOR as they also introduce the Pillars of Support and the Non-violent Methods Checklist which are referred to in subsequent lessons.

ACT Quality Mark awarded, series of lesson plans for learners aged 8-14 which looks at the concepts of violence and non-violence and provides historical case studies to enable learners to explore the efficacy of non-violent action.

Now a thing of legend, prompting wistful smiles form those who remember them, the front room was quite similar in their contents:- glass cabinet & ornaments, family portraits, drinks trolley, glass blowfish, pineapple ice bucket.

Talk with Jean about shared memories;

What items are 'of their time'?

What thoughts do they prompt for you?

What's missing? What can you share?

What questions do you have?

Tuesday 26 Nov: A Red Suitcase, listen & share a journey over a cup of sorrel tea. 11.00 - 12.00 repeated 2.00 – 3.00

Tuesday 3 Dec: A Red Suitcase, listen & share a journey over a cup of sorrel tea. 11.00 - 12.00 repeated 2.00 – 3.00

Start with a story - no one is too old for a story - and go on a journey...what will you take? How will you decide?

This interactive workshop encourages sharing, listening and imagining, includes optional sorrel tea and something to take away.

Caribbean Spiced Sorrel Tea (Hibiscus Tea) is a sweet/tart, refreshing beverage made from hibiscus petals– which is better known as “sorrel” in the Caribbean Islands.

This workshop suits all age groups - no unaccompanied children though, it's ideal for families. And for those with a story to share of their own!

Saturday 30 Nov: Inspired by photo-stories, use coffee-wash & ink to create art. 11.00-12.00 repeated 1.30-2.20

Saturday 7 Dec: Inspired by photo-stories, use coffee-wash & ink to create art. 11.00-12.00 repeated 1.30-2.20

This is an interactive short workshop to engage in a 60 minutes conversation. The activity promotes pertinent questions about Home, Culture and Diversity and at the same time it promotes connections.

The idea is to use an image as reference & inspiration, to trace the main lines of the image.

Use the transferred image on watercolour paper and then with layers of ink, coffee and watercolour to recreate a abstract painting. Maybe your response to the image & the testimonial that lies alongside it

This workshop suits all age groups - no unaccompanied children though, it's ideal for families - and usually with surprising good results. And ideal for those with a story to share of their own - bring along a photo if you like!

"Barrel children" was the name given to the children who were left back home in the Caribbean when their parents departed for Britain in response to the call of Britain - the "Motherland" as part of the Windrush generation. Parents, both together or one followed later by the other often went to Britain alone before sending for their children, if they sent at all. These early workers were promised better lives in return for rebuilding the postwar ‘motherland’.

"The story of Windrush, is, like any other, a story of humanity. Of life, love, struggle, hope, misery, success and failure. It's one that is too often neglected in our media ... but this volume acts as a remedy to that failure of story-telling, which I ask you to both savour and share."

Breaking the Cycle: A Barrel Child Story (Paperback – 31 March 2014 by Pamela K. Marshall)

# data[].attributes.body
Breaking The Cycle follows a couple's path to overcome the lingering effects of being barrel children as issues of abandonment and commitment continue to test their relationship. As they come to terms with their issues, can they still find happiness in each other's arms or will they find it best to part ways and let another mend their hearts?

# data[].attributes.body
Written as a series of letters from the child Sunshine to her absent mother, Aunt Jen traces the changing attitudes of a child entering adulthood as she tries to understand the truth behind her mother's departure, and make sense of her relationship with her family. Aunt Jen migrated to England as part of the Windrush generation, and Sunshine's letters, written in the early 1970s, reveal something of the emotional as well as the physical gulf between those who left and those who remained behind.

1974: summer Somerset Cricket Club welcomes Viv Richards

1974: summer Somerset Cricket Club welcomes Viv Richards

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In particular we are taking a look at his iconic, then record-breaking, innings against Warwickshire in 1985 in which he scored 322, all in one day.

Sir Viv first joined Somerset in 1974 in the same batch of new arrivals as Ian Botham, Vic Marks and Peter Roebuck.

On top of 8,540 Test runs for the West Indies, Richards hit 58 tons in his 14,698 first-class and 7,349 one-day runs for Somerset until 1986.

In that time spell he and the Somerset side won five trophies before he and Garner were ousted as overseas signings, and Botham followed in protest.

But in the 1985 match against Warwickshire, Richards' performance is perhaps one of the best ever seen in Taunton and in England.

In 294 minutes of sheer majesty, 'King Richards' reigned supreme over the Warwickshire bowlers and scored a total that broke the then record score by a Somerset batsman since Harold Gimblett's 310 in 1948.

To get to the total so quickly, Sir Viv hit 42 fours and 8 sixes in just 258 balls.

Vic Marks who skippered Somerset against Warwickshire that game and joined Richards at the crease for the latter part of his innings said it was a special day.

"I was captain in that game and I seem to remember that it was quite a lively pitch because Paul Bail got hit on the head so when Viv went into bat we were in effect 28 for two.

"The ball was zipping around and Gladstone Small was making it quite dangerous but Viv was playing like only he could and he got to his first century fairly quickly.

"When I went into join Viv the score was 324 for four, by which time he must have been close to 200.

"He was playing freely as I recall and then having gone past 200 runs were coming so fast that he didn't probably didn't realise that he could be in for making three hundred.

"The quick bowlers came back and that got him focussed again and he then played beautifully."

Truly an innings that will live long in the minds of Somerset fans, it dose pose the question though, is Sir Viv Richards the best player to have played for Somerset?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The 35-year-old all-rounder from Barbados will join up with the club ahead of this weekend's fixtures.

Braithwaite is the former captain of the West Indies Twenty20 International and was a key member of the team that won the 2016 T20 World Cup as he hit the winning six in the final of the tournament.

He is due to arrive in Somerset later this week and will be at The Parks in Bridgwater for the team's opening match in the WEPL Premier One match against Sidmouth on Saturday.

Brathwaite won't be playing for the club in that match, instead he will be making his Bridgwater debut on Sunday, April 28 in the ECB National Club Championship when the club take on Midsomer Norton.

His home debut is likely to be May 25th when Bridgwater host Bristol CC at The Parks.

Bridgwater CC director of cricket Scott Sealey explained how the signing came about, giving a lot of credit to Jake Lintott, who played with Brathwaite in Birmingham.

"The signing fell into place well really, we were not intending of having an overseas signing this season just with it being quite tricky logistically to sort," Sealey said.

"However, Carlos knows Jake Lintott well and Jake said he might be coming to England this Summer to play some cricket. So we put in some work behind the scenes and from there Carlos agreed to come and play for us."

Sealey added that the signing will be great for the club and for the town of Bridgwater.

"Carlos' schedule means he will be available for about half of our games this season, so it will be fantastic to have him down at The Parks and it will be great for the town as well," he said.

"Thanks to the sponsors who helped secure the signing, they have been a big help, and to the people of Bridgwater, get down to The Parks this Summer to watch Carlos and the team play some cricket.

"Carlos is ready and keen to put on the Bridgwater kit, he really cant wait to get out there and play."

Bridgwater take on Sidmouth in the WEPL season opener this weekend, while the Thirds host Middlezoy.

On Sunday, the first team take on Midsomer Norton in the ECB Cup and also back at The Parks, Bridgwater Women take on Broadstone CC.

The Women's side of the club has expanded this season with a Second team competing for the first time in the Somerset leagues.

And the juniors section continues to grow as well, with the club now boasting some 15 squads in the junior levels.

There is plenty of action to come this season at Bridgwater CC and it all starts this weekend, so get down and enjoy the match against Sidmouth, it starts at 12 midday.

What is home?
It's a question that has troubled Marchelle Farrell for her entire life. A longed-for career in psychiatry saw her leave behind the pristine beaches and emerald hills of Trinidad. Until, disillusioned, she uprooted again, this time for the peaceful English countryside.
The only Black woman in her village, Marchelle hopes to grow a new life. But when a worldwide pandemic and a global racial reckoning collide, the upheaval of colonialism that has led her to this place begins to be unearthed. Is this really home? And can she ever feel truly grounded here?
Drawn to her new garden, Marchelle begins to examine this complex and emotional question through the psychotherapeutic lens of her work. As her relationship with the garden deepens, she discovers that her two conflicting identities are far more intertwined than she had realised.
