Peace Week is an annual tradition organised by The Peace Foundation every year. You can learn more about The Peace Foundation by following this LINK.

As a way to learn about Peace Week I did three different Peace Week activities.

With Mrs Baker we made hand print doves and wrote messages of peace on them.

With Mr Horn we looked at the symbols of peace such as the dove and created origami doves.

Student Led Conference

My highlight at my student led conference was sharing my tiki art because  there were lots of patterns and you had to get it just right.

Next time I would like to be more confident about sharing my learning.

I didn’t But I did

I didn’t see a dinosaur

I didn’t see an alien

I didn’t see a tarantula  

But I did see a deer

I didn’t eat a turtle

I didn’t eat a human

I didn’t eat a monkey

But I did eat herrings

I didn’t try to blow up Mercury

I didn’t go to mars

I didn’t try to blow up Mount Everest

But I did go hunting

Next time I would like to come up with more interesting words.
