The Quest for… The Windrush
Join the Time Traveller as they journey back to 1948 to travel on the Empire Windrush as it voyages to Great Britain.
Through drama techniques like role-play, your children will step aboard and imagine what it was like to journey as passengers. Then, arriving in Britain, they will discover what settling in a new country was like, the difficulties of finding work and the discrimination that many people faced.
The facilitator is in role as the Time Traveller and the children will show their knowledge by passing tasks and working together to become Time Travellers themselves.

This workshop is perfect to support year-round learning as well as the following important events in your year planner:

All of the key aspects of the Windrush were covered in an engaging way. I was really impressed with the wide variety of activities and how much was fitted into just one hour.
