PEACE DAY - January, 2009

30th January 2009

Tomorrow being "School Peace Day", we have celebrated today PEACE DAY at our school.

All students from Nursery 1 to Secundary 3 have been working, playing and singing together for a couple of periods.

At 11.15, we have built a cardboard chain with messages related to PEACE Day. Later, several activities were planned to play together students from different groups and ages. We've gone back to our classrooms and lessons at 12.55.

We all enjoyed working together and getting to know better each other.

Let's not forget "What a wonderful world" we live in, "Give peace a chance" and be sure that we can do everything "With a little help from my friends"
Does this sound familiar?
YES, OF COURSE: these are the titles of the songs we have been singing in the English classes this past week.

Please, find enclosed links to listen to them all again if you wish:
