We have been considering what it means to be a refugee through Kate Milner’s story, ‘My name is not Refugee’. The book poses many questions, which make us contemplate the range of emotions we might experience if we had to leave our homes and take a journey into the unknown. Wednesday thought that “you might get sick” if you lived somewhere without running water. Ryan told us that he would be able to walk “zero minutes before <he> started complaining” if he had to escape to safety. Oscar would play “card games” on the journey. Sophie thought that “seeing other cats and dogs” might remind her of home.

The children recorded their response to the question, “What precious items would you take if you had to leave home in a hurry?”.

Happy Father’s Day

The children are bringing home cards that they have made. I wonder if you can guess which dad is which from the drawings? Which boy said, “My dad is really hot in this picture because he has been running.”? Enjoy your weekend.
