22nd June this year marks the 75th anniversary of the Windrush landing in the UK and has been named Windrush Day
It has come to represent a significant turning point in British history and is a perfect example of how Britain has influenced and been influenced by the wider world
To recognise this important landmark, we have worked with Gaverne Bennett (teacher and creator of The Guardian Black History Timeline) to develop a range of Black History display materials, including this fact‐filled, impactful poster
The story of the ship and the ‘;Windrush generation’; provides a wonderful opportunity to develop children’;s knowledge of world geography and history, as well as their understanding of social and cultural change
This A2 poster will inspire children and provide a springboard for further questions and investigations
Together, you might explore:The history of the British Empire and the Caribbean
