Refugee Week

n Year 6 enjoyed a visit from Amy and Tania from the organisation, MyStart, who have spent a lot of time working in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Northern Kenya. In the camp, Amy and Tania run creative

arts workshops to allow young refugees to express themselves in a fun and dynamic way, as well as reflect upon their experiences and challenging circumstances. In the Year 4 and 6 sessions, the boys learnedabout thestoriesofsomeof these young people, the challenges they had faced in their home countries, their journeys, their life at Kakuma and their hopes for the future. Our pupils created their own impressive ‘zines’ to show their own stories and the things in their life that are important to them.
