Refugee Simulation
Today we had our refugee drama where we acted out a refugee scenario to see what it would be like to be displaced from our country due to war. We had to leave under cover of fire and then cross the border into another "country" and set up a refugee camp. It was a realistic and thought provoking experience for many and gave us a good taste of what real refugees must experience.

Refugee Facts
Did you know that more than 13.5 million people are still in need of help inside of Syria.
Did you know that in October 2015 Russia began launching airstrikes at ISIS targets in Syria. The bombings have continued so far killing at least 2000 civilians and forcing even more Syrians to flee for safety.
Did you know that around the world more than 40,000 people are forced from their homes every single day.
Did you know that more than half the world's refugees are children.
One in five displaced people are from Syria.
This makes me feel extremely lucky that I'm in New Zealand.

Teamwork
On Tuesday we had to stack cups but the only problem was we couldn't use our hands.
It was great to see the teams that were able to communicate together and get the job done.
