In class today we have been learning about refugees and their rights.  Ask your child to discuss with you the difference between refugees and migrants and to share their understanding of the rights of refugee children.

We discussed the story of Paddington Bear and how he had been sent away from Peru to keep him safe.  We also watched a short video of a young boy named Chad who had left his homeland to seek safety.

Activity 1:

We discussed and collated a list of adjective to describe the emotions that Chad and his family would be feeling.  I was extremely impressed with the fantastic adjectives the children came up with!

Activity 2:

The children were given the challenge to think of 7 items that they would take with them if they were to leave their home and be sent to another country in order to keep them safe.
