Know it! - Windrush - Year 6

The educational resource provided by Focus Education (UK) Ltd is designed to engage Year 6 students in exploring the impact of immigration on Britain over the past century. It includes a series of interactive activities that encourage students to recall and share their knowledge about the Windrush generation and the broader topic of immigration in the UK. One of the key activities is called 'Cops and robbers', where students work in groups of four to recall information and learn from each other's knowledge. They have a set time to note down their own remembered facts and then 'steal' new information from their peers, promoting active learning and collaboration.

Another activity challenges students to identify words related to immigration from a given list, enhancing their vocabulary and understanding of the topic. Additionally, the 'Give me 3!' activity prompts students to recall three aspects related to categories such as the Windrush generation, the Caribbean, and the Asian community, among others. This helps to consolidate their learning and recognise the diverse influences of immigration on British society. Each task is designed to be engaging and informative, encouraging students to reflect on the historical and cultural impact of immigration, while also awarding points to incentivise participation and retention of information.
