Our class today is reading a novel called Refugee. The book is about three children in different countries and in different times. They all have the same thing in common; they need to leave their country.
Today our teacher asked us a question; What would you pack in your suitcase if you had to leave the country?
Phone and Charger:
Our family would bring a phone in case we need help or to reach other family members. I would also include the charging cord to top up the battery. (I would pack a portable charger in case we are on the road for a long time.)
My Dogs and my Cat:
I would bring my dogs and my cat because they are important to me and my family. (Although it would be uncomfortable to bring three dogs and a cat when your fleeing the country!)
Clothes:
I would bring clothes because of hygienic reasons. I would definitely need some clean clothes and even a cosy jacket would be great when your becoming a refugee. You'll never know where you'll end up.
Notebook and a Pen:
Becoming a refugee might have you feeling lost. It would be good to write down whats happening right now. Also if you like drawing you could draw in the notebook too!
Food, Snacks and Water:
You still need food when your finding elsewhere to live. Packing some food like veggies, fruit and even pasta would be a smart idea. Also packing some snacks for the road too! And it is really important to drink water, especially when your tired out. Packing lots of water because you never know when you'll get thirsty. I would also pack dog and cat food since my animals are travelling with me too.
Passport/s:
I would pack a passport to be able to be on the plane to travel to the country I'm escaping to. I would also pack money to buy a ticket for the plane or more food in case I run out.
Blanket:
Finally, a blanket. You'd never know where your going to sleep over night. A blanket comes in handy, especially in cold places.
So what would you pack in your suitcase. Where would you go if you had to leave the country?

ReplyDeleteHi Ella I totally agree with you when you say you would pack cat and dogs I would to, and my horse and my 6 cows, there family!.
DeleteHi Ella. You chose good stuff to bring if you had to leave the country. I would bring my dog, clothes,passport,plane ticket, chromebook,charger,shoes, a blanket, food and water. I would go to Budapest.
ReplyDeleteHi Ella, wow you have written a lot. I really like what you chose to pack in your suitcase. You are the only person I saw who chose to pack a blanket, smart. Good job.
ReplyDeleteKia ora Ella. You have thought about things that would be important for you personally. If leaving a country power may be unavaialble at times so something to write on may have may resons why a notebook and pen could come in handy.
ReplyDeleteA blanket is also something that woukld be valuable. I know you are an avid reader. How are you enjoying this book?
Kia ora Ella
ReplyDeleteYou have put a lot of thought into this. I gather you are confident you would be fleeing from New Zealand as a refugee because you are relying on flying. I see millions of refugees on TV who are walking. I wonder if you would change your list if you had to carry everything in your arms or on your back?
What did you read in the book that made you think hard about being a refugee?
