MIND MAP

We did the read aloud "What does peace feel like" By Vladimir Radunsky

Students choose one sense: smell, look, taste, feel, sound and illustrated their own page. These page will become a book that will be added to the Sunway Library collection!

Pinwheel For Peace

We have decorate some pinwheels in symbols of peace! These pinwheels will be on display around the school campus till the end of the month!

THIS IS THE SONG WE WILL BE SINGING AT THE ASSEMBLY

Teaching Peace

By: Red Grammer

Chorus:

Teaching peace all the world around

You and me every city every town

One by one in our work and in our play

We are teaching peace by what we do and what we say

It's up to us to show we care

Reaching out to everybody everywhere

Heart to heart and friend to friend

Circling all around the world and back again

Chorus

So take my hand and come along

It's time to sing the world a brand new song

So sing it loud and sing it clear

All together now so everyone can hear

Chorus

Sound off! One, two, three, four...

It's up to us to show we care

Reaching out to everybody everywhere

Heart to heart and friend to friend

Circling all around the world and back again

Chorus

Terry Fox- Canada Week

Today we started off our Terry fox week by collecting some small change during the long weekend. 

Please continue to collect this week!

The Terry Fox foundation is a great place to go for information!

We watched "Terry Fox: Anything's Possible" and discussed the video. Student then posed questions about Terry that they wanted to know. We will find out the answers through research this week. 

After the video students read a short recap of information about Terry and answered some questions. 

We also did a Canadian word search and decorated some flags!
