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:

AND...
PLEASE...
DON´T FORGET THE SPIRIT OF PEACE DAY!

THEATRE IN ENGLISH

Here you have several

FACTS and FIGURES

of this activity:

Number of Participants:

on 15th Jan (89) + on 22nd Jan (87) = Total number (176)


Cost of transport (bus) :

on 15th Jan (460 euros) + on 22nd Jan (460 euros) =

Total cost (920 euros)


Cost of entrance tickets:

on 15th Jan (675 euros) + on 22nd Jan (748 euros) =

Total cost (1.423 euros)


Each student had to pay 13 euros; it included both entrance ticket for the show and transport to and from the theatre.


We reckon that it was a fantastic activity that we should repeat at some stage in the future.
