Everyday we will be practising this dance, so that we can learn it.
We will be videoing year 6 in the playground (socially distanced) as part of our leavers production. Those of you at home you must learn the dance too. As soon as you have learned it get someone to video you doing the dance, then email it to me. We will be compiling the video’s, along with lots of other stuff (aahhhggg there’s that word!) to create our end of year extravaganza. Can’t wait to see you.
Refugee Week takes place every year across the world in the week around World Refugee Day on the 20 June.
Background
World Refugee Day
Established by Resolution of the United Nations General Assembly in 2000 and occurring each year on June 20th, World Refugee Day is an international observance intended to call attention to the plight of refugees and individuals displaced from their homes due to war, violence, and persecution. The first World Refugee Day was observed in 2001, coinciding with the 50-year anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. Each year on June 20th there are numerous events around the globe designed to raise awareness of the tremendous struggles refugees face and urge action toward solutions.
Refugee Week
In the UK, Refugee Week is a nationwide programme of arts, cultural and educational events that celebrate the contribution of refugees to the UK, and encourages a better understanding between communities.
Refugee Week started in 1998 as a direct reaction to hostility in the media and society in general towards refugees and asylum seekers. An established part of the UK’s cultural calendar, Refugee Week is now one of the leading national initiatives working to counter this negative climate, defending the importance of sanctuary and the benefits it can bring to both refugees and host communities.
The aims of Refugee Week are:
To encourage a diverse range of events to be held throughout the UK, which facilitate positive encounters between refugees and the general public in order to encourage greater understanding and overcome hostility
To showcase the talent and expertise that refugees bring with them to the UK
To explore new and creative ways of addressing the relevant issues and reach beyond the refugee sector
