Peace Week 2017

I have been learning about Peace Week.
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 Miss Brennan we created a poster to help promote peace and Peace Week.
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.

Here is an example of one of my activities


Student Led Conference

My highlight at my student led conference was my mihi and tiki art because my parents loved  them so much.

I am most proud of sharing my monster soup because my mum said that she liked my monster.

I think my parents enjoyed looking at the meaning about my anti bullying poster because they were fascinated.

Next time I would like to do my student led conference on my BYOD.
