This week Year 5 made the long journey to Lewisham to visit the Migration Museum. In Geography, we have been learning all about the United Kingdom and we have learnt about how Britain has become so multicultural and all the richness that migration brings to this country. We learnt about the history of migration to the British Isles and we were surprised to find out that migration here started more than 12,000 years ago. We learnt about the different between immigration and emigration as well as the difference between refugees and asylum seekers. We looked at how British culture has been influenced by migration and also learnt about push and pull factors in relation to migration.
