We are afraid that we will fall.
Go to the edge, he said.
They went. He pushed them……. and they flew.” G. Apollinari

What is the Peace for you?

The 30th of January we celebrate the international day of peace.
This day is the day when Ghandi died. It's very important day in the world, and it's a very beautiful day in our school, we sing songs and dance in the playground. In this day everybody try to be nice with other people. The symbol of the day it's the "dove of peace". In our school we decorate the walls with big pictures with messages of peace. The big pictures are normally made by the youngest students. When we go out to the playground, we put the pictures on the sports centre windows and everybody see them.

This year we have made another activity: at eleven o'clock we have gone to the preschool classes to help the children to inflate balloons, and we put into them messages of peace, later on we all meet at the playground, teachers, students and parents carry a balloon each, everybody sits on the balloon and brakes it, then people read the messages and everybody sing a song all together.

Pipes of peace - Paul McCartney

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I LIGHT A CANDLE TO OUR LOVE,
IN LOVE OUR PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR.
BUT ALL IN ALL WE SOON DISCOVER
THAT ONE AND ONE IS ALL WE LONG TO HEAR.

ALL 'ROUND THE WORLD,
LITTLE CHILDREN BEING BORN TO THE WORLD.
GOT TO GIVE THEM ALL WE CAN 'TIL THE WAR IS WON,
THEN WILL THE WORK BE DONE.

HELP THEM TO LEARN (help them to learn)
SONGS OF JOY INSTEAD OF BURN, BABY, BURN. (burn, baby, burn)
LET US SHOW THEM HOW TO PLAY
THE PIPES OF PEACE,
PLAY THE PIPES OF PEACE.

OOH-OOH-OOH-OOH,
OOH-OOH-OOH.

HELP ME TO LEARN
SONGS OF JOY INSTEAD OF BURN, BABY, BURN,
WON'T YOU SHOW ME TO PLAY (how to play)
THE PIPES OF PEACE, (pipes of peace)
PLAY THE PIPES OF PEACE

OOH-OOH-OOH-OOH.

WHAT DO YOU SAY? (what do you say?)
WILL THE HUMAN RACE BE RUN IN A DAY? (in a day?)
OR WILL SOMEONE SAVE THIS PLANET WE'RE PLAYING ON?
IS IT THE ONLY ONE?

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

HELP THEM TO SEE (help them to see)
THAT THE PEOPLE HERE ARE LIKE YOU AND ME. (like you and me)
LET US SHOW THEM HOW TO PLAY (how to play)
THE PIPES OF PEACE, (pipes of peace)
PLAY THE PIPES OF PEACE.

OOH-OOH-OOH-OOH.

I LIGHT A CANDLE TO OUR LOVE,
IN LOVE OUR PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR.
BUT ALL IN ALL WE SOON DISCOVER
THAT ONE AND ONE IS ALL WE LONG TO HEAR.
