3A have been reading the book
‘The little refugee’ by Anh Do. We
have been investigating what life is
like for refugees and what we can
do to help. These are the blog
response from some students in 3A
when asked to think of ways to
help refugees and why it is
important to help others.

we can help refugees by telling lots of
stuff that we do in our country. Like
helping them to speak English because
they do not know the language. We
could help them by giving them some of
our stuff because they do not come to
our country with very many things. We
could also tell them what to bring to
school in case the teacher doesn't have
any spare things. I would tell them what
to do in any emergencies. It is very
important to help refugees because they
might be very scared.

I'd give refugee kids some of my clothes if
they didn't fit me so that they would have
something clean to wear.

How I can help a refugee. You can help by
having a fundraiser and with the money you
get buy food and clothes for the refugees. You
can also teach them your language you speak.
You can also ask your parents or your family if
a refugee can live with you or stay with you
until they can get some money to buy food
and a house for themselves. It is important to
help a refugee because they have no money,
food or a home.

To help refugees we can see if they need help
with their work if they are in your class. We
can help them around so they know where
they're going. Ask if they need help with
learning English and writing English. Its
important to help refugees. Why is it
important? because if you didn't help them
they'd be lonely and sad then no one would go
along and help them and the refugees would
think they're country is better. So if you didn't
help refugees then they wouldn't learn much
English they wouldn't have friends and they
definitely would NOT like our country. So make
sure work as a team to help refugees.

We should treat them like we want to
be treated and treat them like they
belong here. We don't be rude to them
or they be rude to us. They're new at
school so show them around, that is
how you want to be treated.

27 Oct 2014 at 10:40 AM We can help
refugees a lot you might not know it but
trust me we can. We can donate money,
we can help them learn English and
things like that. Just the smallest things
would help them out. I would let them
use my stuff because that would make
them feel comfortable. You can donate
clothes. What's the purpose to this?
Well how would you feel if that
happened to you? You would want
other people to help you so why don't
you come and help.
Amy says:
27 Oct 2014 at 10:47 AM Why we
should help refugees? I personally think
we should help them so we can be a
better country and have more people in
it and we will be multi-cultural place we
should be grateful for what we have. No
one should have to suffer in war so what
I would say is 'stop the war have a
grateful heart that we are alive. Use
your brain to help and if your good at
building fix those broken houses and if
your good cook, cook for everyone and
that's not all personally look out for
everyone even if you are from a
different religion or culture it does not
matter love everyone and they will love
you.

27 Oct 2014 at 10:41 AM Help, be nice, play
games, go to the park, go to each other's
houses and share toys. Play hide and seek have
sleep overs, go on camps. I would not push, be
mean or rude to a refugee. I would do this to
make sure they aren't scared anymore and so
they feel safe.
