Refugees Incursion

Last Wednesday, Elias' dad David came to visit the neighbourhood to help with our inquiry topic on "Communities". David, who is a Principal Solicitor and Migration Agent for RILC (Refugees and Immigration Legal Centre), gave a presentation about refugees and communities We learned about the differences between a refugee and a migrant, reasons why people may seek refuge in other countries as well as looking at some countries where refugees might come from and the people who come from there. The neighbourhood had many questions for David - more than he could answer!

We would like to thank David again for his time and his wonderful, thought provoking presentation. We would also like to extend our warmest gratitude to all parents who  have visited our neighbourhood to help out during our learning time.
