| Summary: | Comedian Shappi Khorsandi returns to the primary school where she arrived as a refugee after her family fled to London from Iran in 1982 to try her hand at teaching a PSHE - citizenship lesson. Shappi spoke no English when she first came to the UK, and although welcoming, she finds that the school has a much more diverse mix of pupils today. Shappi takes a Year 5 class on the topic of Refugees as part of the school's International Week. She uses her memoir A Beginner's Guide to Acting English to stimulate discussion on English customs and asks pupils to imagine themselves as refugees in order to write a diary entry. |
