In this KS2 Bristol Bus Boycott History Scheme for Year 5/6, children begin by learning about the Windrush Generation, and why there was a mass migration of people from the Caribbean to Great Britain after the end of the Second World War. They find out how poor employment opportunities, difficulties accessing housing and racial prejudice made life difficult for many of the Windrush Generation.

Your class will learn how racial tension in the Notting Hill area of London resulted in rioting on the streets during the summer of 1958. Following this, children go on to learn about the Bristol Omnibus Company's colour bar, which prevented black people working as drivers or conductors on its service. Children will learn how the boycott eventually led to an overturning of the colour bar, and led to the Bristol Omnibus Company becoming one of the first employers in Britain to have an equal opportunities policy.

There is a focus throughout this scheme on children reviewing and recapping previous learning. Each lesson begins with a short activity designed to help children recall prior learning. Children are also encouraged to develop and use new vocabulary. Sentence starters and word banks are used throughout to support high-quality partner talk. Drama conventions are also used to enable you to bring learning to life in your classroom and to help children imagine what it would have been like to live during the events covered.

Everything you need to teach this The Bristol Bus Boycott scheme is included. Each lesson comes with a detailed lesson plan with useful assessment questions and differentiated activities. The pack also contains an engaging slideshow for every lesson and all the printable resources needed.
