Refugee Week 2022 was a great success. The week began with assemblies linked to migration and ended with a non-uniform day to raise money for Coventry Refugee and Migrant Centre and Medical Aid Ukraine. During the week the children looked at the story book 'The Suitcase' to explore what it might be like to have to leave their home and arrive somewhere new. They analysed statistics linked to refugee and asylum seekers and wrote reverse poems inspired by refugee experiences. On Thursday, Roya from CRMC visited school to talk about her story and the important work that the centre does to support people seeking sanctuary in Coventry. All children have made a 'Hexagon of Hope' that will form part of a collaborative piece of art to welcome people to our school. A big thank you to the children in Y5 and Y6 that made items to sell during the week- together they raised an amazing £168.28! |
