Dan Lea helped me on refugee day by making me feel how the refugees feel every day. He didn't let us in our classroom because the government had put a big note on the door saying that we were not allowed in our classroom and we were now refugees. We had to take all our things outside to the playground. We set up a camp but Mr Drew the Head teacher came to our camp and said that we could not stay there and had to move to a different place. This happened all day long and it worried me because I didn't know when it would stop and I just wanted to get back to my classroom. When Mr Lea explained that hundreds of refuge families all over the world do live like this every day I felt sad for them and confused why they lived as refugees. Mr Lea asked us how we felt being refugees for the day and he realy helped me to think about this and about how lucky I am to have a home and a school I can go to each day to learn.Mr Lea is good at making things realistic and exciting and every day with him is different and great fun but I know I am learning at the same time.

Thank you Mr Lea for being the best teacher ever
