PEACE DAY

Dear boys and girls,

It's PEACE day today.  You have all read a story in class in Spanish, The War of the Bells by Giani Rodari.  We brought this story from our first Comenius exchange in Turkey. The Italian students in Campobello di Licata, Sicily read this story and prepared  a video for us. 
We have all learned a nice song that you can find in our school's website.  However, some of you wanted to hear the PEACE song we learned last year.  So here you have the video:


Remember, everyday should be PEACE day.  You need to be good with your friends, teachers and families.
