Who are our classes named after?
North- Marianne North was a world-famous botanist and artist. She traveled around the world exploring plants and landscapes. She is famous for her detailed paintings which are displayed in Kew Gardens. Marianne North is an inspiration to our class because she was passionate and worked hard in her field to become an expert. In addition, she defied tradition for women in Victorian times and followed her own path by travelling solo and pursuing a career.
Cuffay- William Cuffay rejected the Owenite trade unions of the London tailors. He went on strike with his fellow tailors in 1834, demanding a ten-hour workday from April to July and an eight-hour day during the rest of the year with pay of 6 shillings and 5 pence a day. The strike collapsed, Cuffay was sacked and subsequently blacklisted from employment. He was a significant player in having the Master and Servant act amended, so employers could no longer have their employees imprisoned if they left their jobs without permission.
Anning-Mary Anning was an English fossil collector, dealer, and palaeontologist. She became known internationally for her discoveries in Jurassic marine fossil beds in the cliffs along the English Channel at Lyme Regis in the county of Dorset, Southwest England. Anning's findings contributed to changes in scientific thinking about prehistoric life and the history of the Earth. Her discoveries included the first correctly identified ichthyosaur skeleton when she was twelve years old; the first two nearly complete plesiosaur skeletons; the first pterosaur skeleton located outside Germany; and fish fossils. Her observations played a key role in the discovery that coprolites, known as bezoar stones at the time, were fossilised faeces, and she also discovered that belemnite fossils contained fossilised ink sacs like those of modern cephalopods.
