PEACE DAY 2019 - WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD!

For Peace Day, fifth graders reflected on how wonderful their worlds are. 

They wrote about those things that make their worlds wonderful as we realised how, it's on our hands to keep the world a peaceful place.

We also learned the song "What a wonderful world", by Louis Armstrong and made the video you can watch below.

HEAL THE WORLD by 6th grade

For Peace Day (30th January), 6th graders worked on the song "Heal the world", by Michael Jackson, and some volunteers recorded a lip-dub that you can watch on the video below.

Well done, kids!

LIM ACTIVITY - WHAT DOES PEACE FEEL LIKE?

Hi kids! Here's the LIm activity to review what we´ve been working on these days. // Hola! Aquí esta la actividad LIM de lo que hemos estado trabajando estos días.

To celebrate peace this year, we´ve  thought of it as if we could SEE it, SMELL it, HEAR it, TOUCH it and TASTE it. This work is based on the book "What does peace feel like", by Vladimir Radunsky, who compilated the answers given to this question by children from different places all over the world. // Este año, para celebrar la paz, hemos pensado en cómo sería si pudiéramos percibirla a través de nuestros 5 sentidos. Para ello nos hemos basado en Vladimir Radunsky, autor e ilustrador del libro "What does peace feel like?", quien recopiló la respuesta dada por niños de todo el mundo a estas preguntas. En esta actividad LIM aparecen recogidas algunas de las respuestas dadas por los alumnos del CEIP Conmeniño (2º a 6º de primaria).

And also, the video with a version of the original story. We will soon post our own video, stay tuned! Enjoy! // Y aquí tenéis también el vídeo con una versión de la historia original. Pronto publicaremso el nuestro, ¡estad atentos! ¡Que lo disfrutéis!
