The A-Z of Mary Seacole

This short film was written and performed by Year 2 pupils from Southwold Primary School in Hackney in June 2009, with support from their teacher, Darren Chetty.

Having learnt about Mary Seacole, the children decided to organise a fund-raising day for the Mary Seacole Memorial Statue Appeal.

I learned a lot about Mary Seacole by watching this film. Thank you for telling her story! She sounds like a very courageous woman who did a lot for the world.

Hola Clase Azul!

This is brilliant! By making this film you have created something important and powerful. You have added energy to a great movement. Your film will inspire many (e.g. Clase Plateada) to raise money to ensure that Mary Seacole and her work are remembered for ever.

Mary Seacole was a pioneer. I think she would be proud of the way you have followed her example.

Keep up the wonderful work!
