Recently, in English we finished reading Elizabeth Laird\u2019s novel \u201cWelcome to Nowhere\u201d.\u00a0 It is a book set in Syria that follows a young boy called Omar and his family through the struggles of war.\u00a0 As well as this we looked at and analysed a poem called \u201cRefugees\u201d written by Brian Bilston. It was a clever and unique poem that when read in two different ways \u2013 from top to bottom, and from bottom up \u2013 it presented two very different perspectives on the one topic.<\/p>\n

We were then given the chance to come up with our own creative response to either of these texts. Some people wrote poems in the style of Bilston on a topic of their choice; some wrote final chapters to Laird\u2019s book or short stories inspired by her writing, and some made pieces of artwork to demonstrate their understanding of the novel.<\/p>\n
