Since returning from the holiday, Year 5 have been learning all about the Empire Windrush.
The Empire Windrush was a ship that travelled from the Caribbean to Britain in 1948. In June of that year the ship arrived at Tilbury near London. There were 802 people on board from different countries in the Caribbean. Many people on board were tailors, mechanics and carpenters.
The children created floor books to answer the questions below:
What was the Empire Windrush?
Who was on it?
When did it arrive?
Where did it come from?
Where did it land?
What happened to the passengers?
Why did they come?
What did it lead to?
Take a look at our fantastic floor books to find out the answers and even more...
