Year 5 have been very reflective this week throughout Refugee Week. We began the week with a wonderful workshop at the Core Theatre in Solihull; the children took part in dance and visual art workshops sharing their amazing talents. They were then treated to a performance by a theatre group which was very exciting! Throughout the week we have been praying for those on difficult journeys and for those who are still facing difficult journeys; we are sending them love and prayers.
