WALT: To experience the life of a refugee.
On Monday the Senior Syndicate walked to the Red Zone and pretended to be refugees. One the way to the our spot, Mr Gray would blow his whistle and we would have to run for cover, pretending that guards were after us. Once we got to the spot, we spilt into our house groups. My house, (Euphrasie or Blue) were making shelters with only three tarps and some twine. Then we moved on to getting blindfolded and getting guided by a partner through a mine field of "bombs" (cones). Then we had to answer questions that were in Mandarin to cross the "border". Finally we got to get a spoonful of rice into our hands and had to eat it straight from our hands. Then we walked back to school.
It was a fun experience, and it reminded me how some people live.
What do you know about refugees?
Us getting rice.
