This week in class we've been learning about refugees, refugees are people who leave their country to escape war or conflict. This week we have also been reading a graphic novel called My Name is Rez. It's about a girl who is a young refugee and was moved to New Zealand, she had to learn four languages and was teased for not knowing much English. She is now a lawyer and has won young New Zealander of the year.
Kia ora Olivia,
ReplyDeleteYour new learning focus about refugees sounds interesting. It must be very difficult to have to leave your home country because it is so unsafe, and then have to adjust to living somewhere new with a completely foreign language! Why did Rez have to learn four languages? It sounds like Rez has great resilience and was able to make the most of the opportunities she had in her new country New Zealand.
