During our migration topic this term, Year 6 have been learning about how different groups of people have migrated to Britain for various reasons. The United Kingdom is so diverse and inclusive, made up of millions of people from all different backgrounds and beliefs. This week, we have been learning about citizens from the Caribbean who were encouraged to migrate and come work in Britain to help rebuild our country after WW2.

We took part in an online Zoom session with Floella Benjamin who spoke about her experiences as a migrant to Britain travelling from Trinidad and how sadly, back then, she faced lots of racism. It was a great opportunity to learn about the challenges migrants faced and how Britain has come a long way in treating everyone with the respect they deserve.
