Autumn 1- Coming to England
During this term Year 3 have explored the book Coming to England by Floella Benjamin. A story retelling her life as a 1st generation Windrush migrant. She tells her story of travel, finding her identity and navigating a new life.
We have explored using speech, prepositions and time adverbs to make our work amazing!
We created our own fact files about Baroness Floella Benjamin, researching her impact on the Black British history and her career. We found out lots about her, including the fact that she met Queen Elizabeth multiple times, receiving an OBE for her contributions to the Windrush commemoration community.
