Migration Stories Vocabulary Worksheet
Read the story
When Leila and her family arrived in Aotearoa New Zealand, the harbour looked bright beneath the morning sun. Their journey had taken several days, and Leila felt both exhausted and curious. She missed her homeland: the busy street where her grandparents lived, the smell of cardamom bread, and the jokes her cousins told. At first, everyday tasks were challenging. Leila had to learn new bus routes and practise unfamiliar words at school. Her family had moved for the opportunity to be together with relatives and for new possibilities for work. At a neighbourhood gathering, people shared food, music and stories. Leila began to feel that she could preserve her family’s traditions while also becoming part of a new community. Home, she realised, could hold more than one place.
