Refugees
The theme of our learning is refugees, and the journeys people have to endure to find safety. Here we focus on the history of displacement over time and, more specifically, the impact of immigration to the UK. Furthermore, our children are encouraged to empathise with people whose lives have been turned upside down through no fault of their own, and consider how we could support these people within our local community.
