As part of our learning around “The Boy At Ghe Back Of The Class” by Onjali Q Raúf, we investigated attitudes towards refugees both in the news and in popular culture.

We read Bill Bilston’s poem “Refugees” which when read from bottom to top has a different meaning from reading top to bottom.

We used our class colours of the world pencils and crayons to create drawings of an Afghan refugee girl, and wrote the poem inside her Hijab.
