What are the features of persuasive texts followed by some circus-skills fun on a dreary Friday afternoon!
This week we have been thinking about who the refugees are…who are the individuals going through this experience?
The pupils ‘met’ a mother, with her child, who’d had to flee her home country and arrived in the UK. They ‘heard her thoughts’. From this the pupils thought about what would need to happen if they were in a job where they met refugees who had just arrived by whatever means possible. They decided they would need to collect data about them, to be able to know; who they are, what they need now and to be able to help them going forward.
Everyone had a go at creating a form to collect this data, then as a class we looked at the most efficient way to create one.
After our training with Tim Taylor we tried a new way to move into our mantle. We studied an image then tried to imagine the thoughts of the people in it. Our pupils showed such empathy and understanding.
”We need to move up to make room for more people”
”Where are the rest of my family?”
”I’m scared”
”What if we drown?”
Today, the Year 5s in Barcud Coch took a very wet walk to the River Teme- near the Offa’s Dyke Centre. Sarah and Toni were delivering sessions as part of the Celebrating the Teme project.
We found all sorts of creatures, so many more than we expected to! It made us think twice about throwing stones into the river…as fun as that is!
