Show it! Group presentation - Windrush - Year 6

In a Year 6 classroom, pupils are encouraged to delve into the significant impact of immigration on Britain over the last century. As part of their learning journey, students are given the chance to showcase their understanding through group presentations. This activity not only reinforces their grasp of the subject matter but also hones their public speaking and presentation skills. By working in small groups, with no more than six children per group, they can collaborate effectively and engage deeply with the topic.

The presentation topics are varied, allowing each group to explore different facets of immigration's influence. Some groups may focus on the Windrush generation, discussing the arrival of Caribbean immigrants to the UK and their contributions to British society. Others might tackle the subject of prejudice, examining the challenges immigrants have faced and the ongoing struggle for equality. Another option is to highlight the achievements of famous black individuals who have positively impacted British life. Alternatively, groups can provide a broader overview of immigration in Britain and its transformative effects on the nation's culture, economy, and identity. Through these presentations, students will not only educate their peers but also gain a deeper appreciation for the diverse tapestry that immigration has woven into the fabric of British history.
