Stepney Partnership schools are working together to give children and families exciting homework so that families, friends and neighbours can learn together. The next family homework is all about Black History Month, and is for October half-term
1) Become a family biographer -
Does someone in your family, or friends or neighbours come from somewhere else in the world? Were they born there? You (and your brothers and sisters) could interview this person to find out why they came to Stepney/London. Make it more interesting by finding an older person —maybe older than your parents. If there are a number of you doing this you could share out the jobs eg an interviewer, a note taker, a photographer (or portrait artist!) as well as the ‘official biographer’!

2) Take a family trip
London has people from all corners of the world. Take a family trip over half-term to discover the history and people of London.
3) Cook some carribbean food
There are large numbers of people who live in London, who come from, or their families came from, the Caribbean. Caribbean food is delicious! Find some recipes for Caribbean food (go to the Ideas Store or search the internet). When you have found something to try, plan the shopping—you might have to go to some different shops to find unusual ingredients, although Sainsbury will stock most things.
These are just ideas you can do anything you want, as long as you do it together as a family.
