We’ve just finished reading this award-winning book, which tells the story of a refugee from Syria who joins a Year 5 class. Written from a child’s perspective, it is both humorous and poignant, which results in a very powerful text. What do you think are some of important issues that this book raises about the refugee crisis?
SPOILER ALERT: At the beginning of the book I thought that the main character was a boy, but actually it’s a girl called Alexa !
Yeah!!!
It’s so mind-boggling
PS. Mind-boggling is NOT a word just so you know
This book was really funny!!!
I really recommend it.
I agree, it did make us chuckle out loud. Can you think of any messages that were embedded within the storyline?
I have heard so many amazing things about this book!
I’d love to get the opportunity to read it with Ospreys class, I’m sure they would enjoy it as much as Owls have.
Mr Burns
I here this book is REALLY good! I really would like to read it in my class with Mr Burns.
I looked on what we are supposed to be doing on the reading on Monday and it says ‘to read the class text for at least 30 mins.’
What is the class text?
Where do u find it?
I don’t understand.
pls can u explain.
Well hello again Olive. I’m not quite sure what is happening, because Mr. Burns and I have changed that but for some reason it isn’t showing up on the website. It should say to read a book of your choice for a 30 minutes.
