"We have existed in Britain and been pioneers, inventors, icons. And then colonialism happened, and that has shaped the experiences of black people - but that is not all we are."

These are the words of Lavinya Stennett, founder of The Black Curriculum, an organisation which teaches black British history in schools - and is campaigning for Education Secretary Gavin Williamson to make it compulsory.

The death of George Floyd in America has inspired thousands of people in Britain to demand justice, marching through the streets of our biggest cities.

George The Poet, who was questioned about this on Newsnight, believes a lack of education about black British history - and the British Empire - plays a part in racism in the UK and our discussions about it.

My appearance on @BBCnewsnight yesterday reminded me that racism convos are weakened by gaps in our information. Ideally, we would all leave school with a basic awareness of Britain's leading role in the oppression of black and brown people. But we're a long way from this 1/7
- George The Poet (@GeorgeThePoet) June 2, 2020

The transatlantic slave trade and the US civil rights movement are largely the only black history taught in UK schools, normally in October when we celebrate Black History Month.

"lf you're omitting different histories and narratives, you're saying that these people aren't part of this country, this nation, this heritage - or they're not important enough to be taught as common knowledge," says Melody Triumph, policy specialist at The Black Curriculum.

These are just a few episodes of black British history we weren't taught in school.

1. The Ivory Bangle Lady

Some might think the first black people in Britain arrived from Britain's colonies - the countries in Africa, the Caribbean and Asia that Britain ruled over, in some cases for centuries - after World War 2.

But that's not true, says Lavinya from The Black Curriculum.

"We know that black people were in Britain since Roman times - and there's specific examples."

The Ivory Bangle Lady is the name given to remains discovered in York in 1901 which are now on display in the York Museum. Archaeological analysis reveals that although she was born in Roman Britain, she's likely to be of North African descent.

The remains have been dated to the second half of the 4th Century.

She was found with jet and elephant ivory bracelets, earrings, pendants, beads, a blue glass jug and a glass mirror. In other words, she wasn't poor.

"It puts into question assumptions that black people have never been aspirationally wealthy or had any kind of wealth," Lavinya says.

2. Henry VIII's black trumpeter

There's even a letter from John Blanke to Henry VIII asking for a pay rise.

"He petitioned for 8p a day. I don't know what the conversion is today, but that showed he knew his worth," Lavinya says.

3. Britain's first black Queen?

She was a princess from Germany who became a British Queen after marrying King George III - and many historians believe Queen Charlotte had African ancestry.

They married in 1761 and Charlotte was the mother of two British monarchs - George IV and William IV.

It's been argued that despite coming from Germany, Queen Charlotte was descended from a black branch of the Portuguese royal family.

King Afonso III of Portugal conquered the city of Faro from the Moors - Muslims from North Africa who lived in modern-day Spain and Portugal during the Middle Ages - in the 13th Century. Afonso was thought to have had three children with the city governor's daughter.

One of their sons, Martim Afonso Chichorro, is also said to have married into a family with black ethnicity. He and his wife, Ines Lourenco de Sousa de Valadares, founded the Portuguese house of Sousa-Chichorro, which had many descendants, including Queen Charlotte.

Queen Charlotte's great granddaughter? Queen Victoria.

"A lot of the time, we start with black history in London - it's London-centric. But a lot of Glasgow's wealth actually comes from the tobacco, the sugar, the cotton that was created and sustained by enslaved people in Jamaica, Trinidad and Barbados," Lavinya says.

Many of Glasgow's prominent city centre streets are named after 18th Century slave owners who made fortunes from plantations.

"You're told that black people were slaves, but you're not told the fruits of their labour are actually the streets we walk on."

Lavinya says teaching slavery is important but you need to "contextualise it".

"Talk about who gained from it, the people not only in the colonies but also here in the UK."

That also means teaching about the "black people in Scotland who were part of the abolition of the slave trade".

"But black people were actually brought over from Jamaica to fight in World War One," says Lavinya. Her great-uncle came to England at the age of 17 to help the war effort, settling in London afterwards.

But she says her uncle was "one of the lucky ones"- because he wasn't sent back after the war.

When soldiers returned to the UK after WW1 there was a jobs shortage and a lack of opportunities.

"White people made the link that they were not getting jobs because of the black people" - and violence towards black communities followed.

They're known as the 1919 race riots in Glasgow, Liverpool, Cardiff and other seaports across Britain, during which three people were killed and hundreds injured.

But there were economic consequences too. Many black serviceman and workers found themselves without jobs after a "colour bar" was introduced in many industries, with white workers, often backed by unions, refusing to work alongside black people.

Lots of black men were sent back to the countries they had lived in before the war.

"It fits into the hyper-sexualisation of black men. White men felt threatened because they felt that black men were taking their women," Lavinya says.

6. The Bristol bus boycott

After WW2 black people from the Caribbean and Africa, and people from India, were asked to come to Britain to help rebuild the country.

They were put to work in the NHS and other public sector roles, like driving buses.

But in Bristol the Omnibus Company, run by the council, refused to employ black and Asian drivers, which eventually led to a boycott of buses across the whole city.

"But it wasn't as easy as that," Lavinya says. At the time it was not illegal to discriminate based on race - the first Race Relations Act was passed in 1965, but didn't include legislation about employment or housing until 1968.

Hackett organised blockades and sit-down protests to prevent buses getting through the city centre.

Students showed support too and it was backed by the local MP Tony Benn as well as Harold Wilson, who became Labour leader a year later.

On the same day Martin Luther King Jr delivered his famous "I have a dream" speech after marching on Washington DC - 28 August 1963 - pressure had built enough over the summer that the Bristol Omnibus Company announced a change in policy.

By mid-September Bristol had its first non-white bus conductor - Raghbir Singh, an Indian-born Sikh who'd lived in Bristol since 1959 - and further black and Asian crews followed.

Paul Stephenson, Guy Bailey and Roy Hackett all received OBEs for their action.

How to Make a toga and laurel wreath

Two guys from the YES magazine project crew provide a simple and very cleanly humorous way to make a toga and laurel wreath out of simple and common art supplies and household items. Some of the materials required include: some laurel leaves, some green tissue paper, a bit of red ribbon, scissors, and some cloth (which should be purple if possible). As they explain this simple process, they never fail to display a few silly antics that can amuse the average viewer.

When I became a mummy, I knew I'd be taking on many roles. Being the chief chef, reader, teacher, and driver for instance. And butt-wiper, of course. Can't forget that! I didn't however factor costume-maker into the equation.

But yes, costume-maker I now am. I've never been so well acquainted with cardboard and recycled materials in my life! Over the years, I've made Lightning McQueen, constructed some astronaut jetpacks, given Noey some Lego spectacles, made Elsa hair, and dressed my pair up as Charlie & Lola. And those are just the handful I remembered to document!

I never thought myself particularly good at craft but I must say it has grown on me. That said, it is rarely a painless process. It usually starts of with a good idea which I get all excited about, only to have my confidence waver as things start falling apart. Cue the glue! Lots of masking tape! More layers of paint! I pull it together, swearing never to be that ambitious again. And then I see my children's excited faces and suddenly all that stress I went through feels like a small price to pay. Which leads me to attempt another project against my better judgment...

This year, with Noey In P1, I thought I would be winding down on costumes but instead he came back just before the March holidays with a note about a costume parade for the start of English Week the following term. Furthermore, his costume had to be themed on a list of countries and there were six to choose from, including Egypt, Japan, Italy, UK. This was to fit their overall theme of Around The World In 80 Days, you see. After failing to convince him to be a pyramid - stacking boxes together sounded like an easy costume to me! - we agreed that he would be a Roman soldier.

Then I had to figure out how to make his costume.

I found this really detailed tutorial on Instructables and borrowed many ideas from it while simplifying to make most of the costume. I spent the most time on the helmet but was very satisfied with the outcome! The main structure of the helmet was made with a single piece of cardboard with 1-2cm strips cut into it up to the mid-way point along one length. Fold the strips down in an overlapping manner and glue in place. I actually made an error with mine and when I overlapped the pieces, I realised I had underestimated the width of the cardboard needed, so that instead of overlapping nicely, at I had a big hole at the top instead. No matter, I cut a circular piece to close the hole from the inside and made the rectangular strip at the top on which the broom sits wider in order to cover the hole.
Yah-dah, helmet! The detailing is done with glue, something I learnt from this tutorial, which I thought was very clever.
I guess what I'm saying is that when working with cardboard craft, I've learnt not to sweat the small stuff.
Breastplate and skirt, a little worse for wear here. The kids have been having a field day with these!
I had a lot of fun making this armour, and the materials were relatively easy to find. Cardboard, I have plenty of, thanks to random purchases and deliveries. Just a small brush from the neighbourhood provision shop for the helmet comb, some stick-on velcro to attach the two halves of the front and back armour together, some leftover gold trim for the breastplate, and a cheap belt for the skirt. I got mine from good ol' Daiso.

I'm really just a newbie when it comes to cardboard but here are some things I have learnt from this and previous projects:

1. The first thing to do when working with cardboard is to turn it inside out and use the clean, unprinted side. If it is a box you want to use in its original shape, remove the staples from the side to open it up, flip the box inside out and reattach. The unmarked surface is just nicer and easier to work with.

2. Observe the corrugation lines of the cardboard before you draw and cut it. If you need to roll the cardboard or get it to bend, doing so parallel to the corrugation is much more effective and looks nicer.

3. When joining cardboard, especially over corners, remember to leave an allowance to fold over instead of joining at a right angle. I learnt this the hard way recently trying to hold a box together at corners when I was too quick to cut the pieces down to size.
My little Roman soldier. He was soon chuffed! Unfortunately I don't take good pictures under normal circumstances and at 6am, this was the best I could do. I carry his excited expressions in my heart.
4. When gluing, hot glue is very strong but I find it very fiddly. Instead, UHU glue works a treat. It dries quickly but still leaves me enough time to make some minor adjustments. Elmer's glue is very strong too - in fact, a lot of the helmet is being held together by Elmer's - but it takes a while to dry and you have to hold it/clamp it in place in the meantime.

5. The best way to paint cardboard is to dip a roller in paint (acrylic paints work best, I feel) and roll it on. If you don't have a roller, use your paint brush. Spray paint is not a great idea. The coverage isn't great and it tends to seep through, requiring you to spray on another coat, which in turn weakens the cardboard. Spray paint does work quite well on top of a painted surface however, like in the case of this armour. I painted the cardboard black then sprayed it over with silver spray paint. The black showing through underneath the silver was perfect. The "N" on the breastplate had an undercut of white paint for contrast.

Anyway, the reason why I started writing this post talking about costumes earlier was week was that... I had to make another one! This time for Mei and just when I thought I could just re-use this costume, the theme for her costume is Singapore in the 80s. Since there were clearly no Roman soldiers in Singapore in the 80s (or ever?) I'm going to had to make something new. If you've seen my pictures on Instagram you would know what it was! That was a fun one which involved, yes, more cardboard. I'll be back with more on that in a bit.

A Roman "photo" story by Dr Forte, illustrator of Minimus

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This year, my Year 5 class put together a photo story based on their work with Minimus. Soldiers, Britons and doctors all appear - and the famous Moreton Hall horse! We had one Roman helmet (which we got with supermarket vouchers), one red t-shirt and a couple of swords. The chariot is made of two broom handles, a curved piece of cardboard for the body and two cardboard wheels. The yoke pole was held by the back end of the horse, and the charioteers were on the ground. We borrowed a saw, a sponge and two red-painted aprons from the Art room. I put the pictures together with ComicLife, and a little bit of Photoshopping.
