PICASSO AND PEACE

As you already know, this year we are working on Art. Lili-arte is the name of the Project our library is working on. For Peace Day, we decided to "study" the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. Shannon helped us in this task by bringing into our classes the book Getting to know Pablo Picasso.

Picasso was a peacemaker as it is shown in many of his paintings. In Arts our students created their own version of Picasso's painting A Bouquet of Peace.

This is the song Primary 4, Primary 5 and Primary 6 are learning with Charles to celebrate Peace Day.

Primary 1, Primary 2 and Primary 3 sang "I've got peace in my fingers".

To celebrate Peace Day we are learning about Martin Luther King. He fought for  Human Rights and he was what we known as a Peacemaker. We chose this quote to decorate our hands, which represent the different races.

PINWHEELS FOR PEACE 2015

“Pinwheels for Peace” is an art installation project started in 2005 by two Art teachers, Ann Ayers and Ellen McMillan, who teach at Monarch High School in Coconut Creek, Florida, as a way for their students to express their feelings about peace, tolerance, cooperation, unity, harmony,... The first “Pinwheels for Peace” were installed on Sept. 21, 2005.
This year our school has decided to create Pinwheels to celebrate Peace Day on January 30th. Students crafted pinwheels on which they wrote, drew and decorated peace words and signs. The result was great.

Primary 1 made these beautiful peace doves. First, they painted the dove using q-tips, then they cut it and glued it on blue cardboard. Finally, they made the border using crayon shavings.
