Junior 6
This week in Junior 6, we have continued with our novel Oranges in No Man’s Land and have focused on Chapter 2 where Ayesha’s family find a home with other refugees. We have taken this theme and thought about it in more detail, considering what life might have been like as a refugee and trying to understand the concept of migration as a whole. We learnt that there can be push and pull factors that cause people to migrate from the violence of war, destruction and famine on the one hand to the pull of job opportunities, better weather and education on the other. We heard about the real-life experiences of people who have been forced to leave their homes and people who have made the choice to leave because of the attraction of what another place has to offer.
