In year 5, we have started reading our new class novel, The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Q Rauf.

One of the main characters is a boy called Ahmet who is a refugee. To give us a better understanding of Ahmet as a character and what he may have experienced prior to arriving in our story, we have been learning about what it means to “seek refuge” and to be a “refugee”.

We have learnt lots about it today and how this links to our human rights and how refugee charities and support groups are ensuring every refugee’s basic human rights are met and supported.
