Ideas for use in class
- Could be a dynamic resource for all areas of the curriculum, in particular to PSHE and Citizenship, but also English, Geography, History and Art. A good illustration of why some people have to flee their country, and therefore helps raise questions about persecution and war. This could be used in PSHE and Citizenship lessons to start a discussion on what it's like for children adapting to life in the UK and the issues they are often dealing with when they arrive. This would provide a dynamic resource to start a discussion on the effects of separation from a loved one as well as exploring issues of bullying. In an English lesson it could generate discussion for the different genres of writing, providing an example of narrative and describing personal experiences.
