The children have started the new year of learning by following
the remarkable journey of Little Amal, a young refugee girl.
Amal represents the 32 million children who have been forced
to leave their homes and are often separated from their families and friends. Little Amal is a (not so little) 3.5 metre-tall
puppet who is walking from the Syria-Turkey border, across
Europe and into the UK to find her mother. Along the way she
is stopping in cities and towns, where she will be welcomed into the communities through music, dance, drama, art
and puppetry. Throughout this week the children have explored the themes of welcome, adventure, home, migration,
climate and fear through creative activities inspired by Amal's
adventure. They have considered experiences, feelings and
values, investigating moral and ethical issues and appreciating diverse viewpoints .In addition the children have had the opportunity to consider different communities and learn about respect and equality. We look forward to welcoming Little Amal to Coventry on October
