I hope you enjoy, and don't forget to check out Emma's blog too!

Refugee week 9

This week for refugee we had to do our activities all on one slide! We have read chapters 35-40 this week and they really deepen the plot! Here is my slide, apologies on slides 3-5 as they have their chapters mixed up. I tell you this so that you won't get confused when reading another Wai members post!

Think and respond week 8

This week the Wai reading group read chapters 30-35 of our book Refugee. Then we had to full out this form for think and respond.

Here is mine:

Emotive Language

This week for literacy, one of our tasks was to fill out an emotive language sheet. We had to make them more interesting. We did all of them except for the first one.

-  The men were killed / the victims were executed in cold blood  - (we did NOT do this one.)

Letter to Whanau

This week we had to make a letter to out whanau explaining the circumstances of the refugees. 
Here is mine, I hope you enjoy!

Dear family and friends, 

Did you know the circumstances of the refugees?

Did you know that they have to leave the country at night? (leaving in broad daylight would be a biiiiiit stupid.)

People become refugees when they are living in war-torn countries. They run away from their countries, to find better places for their families. It is totally up to them if they become refugees or not.

There are many countries that refugees come to NZ from. Some include: Iraq, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iran, Sri Lanka, Rwanda, Sudan, Afghanistan, Colombia and Burma. Why? Well because their war-torn countries are too war-torn to live in anymore.

There are many ways to help the refugees, like: donating online, donating food and water, speaking out, fundraising for refugee organisations and sharing the tragic refugee stories to make more people inclined to helping.

We have many great organisations around the world to help refugees. Some being: UNHCR, (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees or UN Refugee agency) Mercy Corps, Save the children, UNICEF, (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) Catholic Relief Services and ShelterBox.

Why should we help you ask?

Well that is quite simple. Refugees are still out there today. Fighting to stay alive. Needing to lose their children so that they may live. Losing loved ones. Even $5 a month to any of those organisations helping refugees makes such a big difference!!!

Love, 

from yours truly. :)
