Put a circle around words to do with immigration - Immigration to Britain - Year 6

In this educational activity designed for Year 6 students, the task is to identify and understand vocabulary associated with immigration to Britain. Working in pairs, students are encouraged to engage in a discussion to determine which six words from a provided list are related to the topic of immigration. Once they have made their selections, they are instructed to draw a circle around each word they believe is connected to immigration, turning the exercise into both a learning opportunity and a game where they can earn points for correct identifications.

The list of words presented to the students includes a mixture of terms directly related to immigration, such as 'migration', 'Windrush', 'refugees', 'Brexit', 'slavery', and 'discrimination', alongside other words that are not directly related, such as 'gladiator', 'Freya', 'centurion', 'civil war', and 'hill fort'. By distinguishing between these terms, students develop a clearer understanding of the concept of immigration and its specific vocabulary. Additionally, the activity prompts a deeper discussion on why Britain has historically been, and continues to be, a destination for immigrants, encouraging students to reflect on the social, economic, and political factors that make a country attractive to those born elsewhere.
