Support the Project on Crowdfunder
This Windrush Day (22nd June 2025), join us in bringing the Windrush generation's rich history and cultural contributions into London primary schools. I aim to distribute Windrush Rhythms Story Packs to early years and KS1 classrooms across the capital, fostering understanding and celebrating identity, migration, and belonging.
Windrush Rhythms is a sensory-rich story pack designed for early years and KS1. It uses art, symbolism, and movement to help children explore identity, migration, and belonging.
Each pack includes:
- A 70x70cm cotton storytelling scarf
- A set of visual flashcards, this thick, durable set features illustrated symbols from the Windrush Rhythms storytelling scarf, such as the ship, suitcase, Caribbean landscapes, home, and music. It also includes nine additional prompt cards, each with simple context and EYFS-aligned talking points to support visual literacy, oral storytelling, and play-based learning in early years settings.
- A teacher guide with lesson prompts
- Access to digital resources
I've created it with care, grounded in EYFS learning goals and designed by an early years educator committed to inclusive, joyful learning.
Why It Matters:
Many children in the UK still don't see their families or histories reflected in the classroom. With this pack, we aim to change that, one story at a time, now across London. Your support will give educators the resources and confidence to explore the Windrush story respectfully and creatively.
Our Goal
We're raising £3,035 with the aim of bringing these story packs to as many primary schools across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London as possible. starting with an initial target to fund and distribute 50 packs in time for Windrush Day (22nd June 2025). Our original success in Bromley showed us the huge demand, and any additional funds raised beyond our initial London target will allow us to extend this initiative to even more schools and deepen our impact.
