The Quest for… The Windrush
In this popular KS1 and KS2 Windrush workshop, journey back to 1948 on the Empire Windrush.
Join the Time Traveller at this pivotal moment of history travelling on the Empire Windrush as it voyages from Jamaica to Great Britain. Then explore what life was like for the ‘Windrush Generation’ as they begin a new life in the UK.
Through drama techniques you will sensitively explore first impressions of the UK, what settling in a new country was like, the difficulties of finding work, and the discrimination that many people faced.
Take part in role-play, soundscapes, and games. Work together to become Time Travellers yourself in this popular KS1 and KS2 Windrush workshop!
