21st of September was an International Peace Day. Since Grade 5s studied Peace as part of the Unit of Inquiry we asked them to come and share with us what they know.
``What is a peace?``they asked from Grade 1 students. There was one hand up.
``Peace means that people do not fight,``said Evan.
``How can your keep the peace?``
``I do not fight with other students.I use words instead of hands.``said Evan again.
``If you feel really angry at someone count to 10 before you do or say anything, breathe in and out slowly or walk away and cool down,``suggested Sasha to our students.
``I do that all the time if I get angry and it helps me,``he added.
Then they talked a bit about Libya and why is there a war.
When the boys left Grade 1s knew that Peace means you are friendly and you do not fight.
At the end of the day each class painted ``Peace`` on the fabric. Soon we will see a big Peace Quilt that we painted together.
Thank you Ms. Reelika and Mr. Paulo for organizing a Peace Day!
