Maritime Madness


This week Year 5 went to the National Maritime Museum to learn more about the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.  

What was the most interesting thing you learnt? What really shocked you? How did the exhibition make you think differently about enslavement?

    The most interesting thing is when I saw a statue that I didn't even know was in the Georgen times.

    The thing that shocked me was that i saw a picture of how crowded the slave ships were, everyone was confined and had no space to move around.

      Unfortunately, they didn't have the same atttitudes that we do today Amal. It took people like Olaudah Equiano and William Wilberforce to change other's minds.

    The White people did not treat the black people nicely and it was not nice for them

    I want to know why the White people did this to the black. They are the same people, but just with a different personality, skin colour and name. I watched something where Rosa Parks was on the bus and a white person came on the bus and asked her to get out of her seat, but Rosa sat there and didn't move. That was how she go arrested. White people were soooo popular in those days, but now everyone is equal. In some countries especially black are being enslaved.

    Miss Robinson, why do we always have to go to museums because we have already been to the British museum and the Science museum
