REFUGEES BY MATTHEW BILSTON

Refugees

by Matthew Bilston

They have no need of our help

So do not tell me

These haggard faces could belong to you or I

Should life have dealt a different hand

We need to see them for who they really are

Chancers and scroungers

Layabouts and loungers

With bombs up their sleeves

Cut-throats and thieves

They are not

Welcome here

We should make them

Go back to where they came from

They cannot

Share our food

Share our homes

Share our countries

Instead let us

Build a wall to keep them out

It is not okay to say

These are people just like us

A place should only belong to those who are born there

Do not be so stupid to think that

The world can be looked at another way

Week 36 Update

5^th Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

With only one week left of May, we are entering the fastest-paced period in any school year. As the weather continues to bring summer temperatures, the holidays will soon be here. This does not mean that we will sit back and let the hours drift idly away. There is still a lot in store for us in the coming weeks. This includes a brief look at poetry and a poetry recital in the last week of school. This will all be preceded by our reading of Bridge To Terrabithia and the writing of our own short fantasy stories. Our biggest event of the year is our journal-inspired final speech that sums up all of the most important lessons that we have learned in Grade 5.

Please don’f forget to attend our Art Exhibition next Tuesday. Art will be on display the entire day so feel free to visit any time during the day if you are able to.
