This past week, we celebrated International Day of Peace (Día de Paz), which occurs in Spanish schools on January 30.
Last week, the students worked on a variety of activities to honor this day. The fifth grade students created digital collages, using images and quotes that they found on the internet. Other classes made arts and crafts, including a tree of doves, peace flags, and a balloon of the world with all of its diverse people (shown in the photo above).
All classes learned the beautiful song "Mensajes del Agua," by the artist Macaco, in preparation for singing it together as a large group. To celebrate today, our entire school performed this song together, as we also released doves into the air.
Here is song by Macaco - "Mensajes del Agua":
