Hello, My name is Mrs. Tipping.

And I'm really looking forward to learning with you today all about significant individuals who changed Britain.

And we're going to explore the question, how did they fight for change? So, shall we get started? Let's go.

By the end of today's lesson, you'll be able to describe the events that took place at the Bay Horse pub in Bristol in 1964.

Before we start, I would like to introduce you to some key words.

We'll be using these key words during the lesson, so it might be a good idea to write these words down.

The key words we'll be using today are; pub, manager, police officer, arrested.

I'm going to say those again, and I'd like you to repeat them after me.

Pub.

Manager.

Police officer.

Arrested.

Good job.

Now, let's think in more detail about what these keywords mean by taking a look at their definitions.

A place where people can buy drinks is called a pub.

A manager is the person in charge of a place.

A police officer is a person whose job it is to make sure that people follow the law.

When someone is arrested, they are taken away by the police because they have broken the law.

Pause the video here to make a note of these keywords.

And when you are ready to continue, press play.

These are the learning cycles that we'll be working through together in today's lesson.

What happened at the Bay Horse pub? What happened after Paul was arrested? In the first learning cycle, we'll explore what happened at the Bay Horse pub.

Emily Davison died at the Epsom Derby in 1913.

She had been fighting for the rights of women to be able to vote.

Around 50 years later, someone else in Britain was fighting for the rights of another group of people, and he was called Paul Stephenson.

Paul Stephenson walked into a pub in Bristol called the Bay Horse.

A pub is a place where people go to buy drinks.

You can see that photo of the Bay Horse pub in Bristol today.

So it's still there.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

Where was the Bay Horse pub; London, Manchester, or Bristol? Hmm, what do you think? Pause the video here and give yourself a moment to think of the answer.

And press play when you're ready to continue.

If you said that the pub was in Bristol, you're absolutely right.

Well done.

Now, just like Emily Davison, Paul Stephenson was very brave.

You can see an illustration of Paul Stephenson there.

I wonder why he was brave.

Well, he was brave because shockingly, in 1964, which is around 60 years ago, the manager of the Bay Horse pub did not allow people of colour to go inside the pub.

And Paul Stephenson was a person of colour who thought that this was very unfair.

Now, back then, the manager of the pub was allowed to say that people of colour were not allowed inside the pub.

Today, this is not allowed to happen anymore, and it is against the laws of this country.

Paul Stephenson is one of the people that helped to make this law.

Let's take a moment to pause here.

Can you add the missing keyword to complete Aisha's sentence? "In 1964, the of the Bay Horse pub did not allow black people to go inside the pub." Pause the video here and have a discussion with your partner.

What is the missing keyword that can complete Aisha's sentence? And press play when you're ready to continue.

What did you think? Well, the word was manager.

"In 1964, the manager of the Bay Horse pub did not allow black people to go inside the pub." In fact, they did not allow any people of colour to enter the pub.

Paul Stephenson was very brave, because he knew that he was not supposed to go into the pub.

He also knew that it was not right, and so he did it anyway, because he wanted to show how unfair it was and to stand up for people of colour in Britain.

Paul ordered a drink inside the pub, but he was not allowed to drink it.

Instead, the manager asked Paul to leave the pub, but Paul refused.

Now, because Paul refused to leave, the police were called to the pub.

And when they arrived, there were eight police officers who had come to take just one man away.

Take a look there at that photo of a police car was made in the 1960s.

That would've been the type of police car that would've went to the pub to arrest Paul.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

How many police officers took Paul Stephenson out of the Bay Horse pub; two, eight, 15? Pause the video here and have a discussion with your partner.

And when you're ready to continue, press play.

What did you think? If you said eight, that's correct.

Well done.

This brings us to our first learning task.

I'd like you to choose the correct word to complete the sentences below.

Paul Stephenson went to the Bay Horse pub in 1913 or 1964.

He ordered a drink or meal there.

The manager asked him to leave or stay.

Eight police officers removed Paul from the pub because he was a white or black man.

So pause the video here and give yourself enough time to choose the correct word to complete each sentence below.

So you could circle them or underline them, but choose between the purple words.

And when you're ready to continue, press play.

How did you get on? Shall we take a look at those answers? So, Paul Stephenson went to the Bay Horse pub in 1964.

He ordered a drink there.

The manager asked him to leave.

Eight police officers removed Paul from the pub because he was a black man.

Well done if you are able to select the correct word, and well done for completing that learning task.

We're now going to move on to the second part of our lesson.

We're going to explore what happened after Paul was arrested.

Paul was arrested by the police officers because he had broken the rules by walking into the pub.

It is the job of a police officer to make sure that people follow the rules and laws of a country.

So they arrested Paul.

To be arrested means that someone is taken away by the police because they have broken the law.

And that photo of the police car there, that's the type of car in the 1960s that would've taken Paul away from the pub.

Now, the police officers said that Paul acted in an aggressive way.

That means he would've been angry and maybe violent when he was in the pub.

But people in the pub said that that was not true.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding here.

Can you match the people below to their action in the Bay Horse pub? So we have the people; Paul Stephenson, the pub manager, and the police officers.

What was their action? Arrested Paul, asked Paul to leave the pub, ordered a drink.

So pause the video here and give yourself a moment to match the people to their action in the Bay Horse pub.

And press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? Well, Paul Stephenson ordered a drink.

The pub manager asked Paul to leave the pub.

And the police officers arrested Paul.

Well done if you were able to match those people to their actions.

Now, Paul was taken to the police station, and he had to stay in a cell, which is a small prison room, until midnight.

Then he was finally allowed to leave.

A few months later, it was proved that Paul did not do anything wrong in the Bay Horse pub.

And because of this, he did not have any punishment, and was actually given some money to make up for how unfairly he was treated.

Just like Emily Davison's story in 1913, Paul's story in 1964 was in the newspapers as well.

And this meant that lots of people read about how unfairly Paul was treated, and they wanted things to change so that people of colour would no longer be treated unfairly in Britain.

Can see that photo of a person reading a newspaper.

It would be very important for stories to get into newspapers like this, so that they're spreading the word and everyone gets to hear about that unfair treatment and wants to do something about it.

Let's take a moment to pause here.

Whose newspaper headline fits the story of Paul Stephenson at the Bay Horse pub? So Izzy says, "Man in Bristol tries to beat up the police in a pub in 1964." Jun says, "Man in Bristol shows how unfairly black people are treated in 1964." Pause the video here and have a discussion with your learning partner, whose newspaper headline fits the story of Paul Stevenson at the Bay Horse pub? And press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? Well, Jun's newspaper headline fits Paul's story.

It shows how unfairly black people were treated in 1964 in that Bristol pub.

This brings us to our final learning task.

I'd like you to retell the events of what happened to Paul Stephenson at the Bay Horse pub in 1964.

And you could use these sentence starters to help you.

Paul Stephenson went into.

The manager told him to.

The police were called after he was arrested.

So pause the video here, give yourself enough time.

Make sure you have a pen and some paper to retell the events of what happened to Paul Stephenson at the Bay Horse pub in 1964.

And press play when you are ready to continue.

How did that go? Let's take a look at an example, shall we? So your answer could include, Paul Stephenson went into the Bay Horse pub in Bristol.

The manager told him to leave because he was not allowed to be in the pub.

The police were called, and eight police officers arrested Paul because he refused to leave the pub.

After he was arrested, he was let go from the police station at midnight.

It was proved that he did nothing wrong Well done if you were able to retell the events of what happened to Paul.

And well done for completing that learning task.

Now, before we finish this lesson, let's summarise what we've learned about Paul Stephenson and the Bay Horse pub.

"51 years after Emily Davison's death, a man called Paul Stephenson walked into the Bay Horse pub in Bristol.

It was 1964, and he was not allowed in the pub because he was a black man.

The manager told Paul to leave, but he refused because it was an unfair rule.

Eight police officers arrested him, and he was in the police station until midnight.

He did nothing wrong and did not get any punishment." Thank you for joining me in this lesson today.

I hope to see you in the next one.

See you next time.
