THE PEACE DAY-by Fabiola Morera

The Peace day!

This year, at school, we celebrated the peace day in a different way. We were meant to celebrate it on Friday, but because of the rain we celebrated it the following Tuesday.

So basically what we did that day was that all school had to reunite at the playground, from the little ones (two years old) to the oldest ones (eighteen years old) and also all the teachers were there. To get everyone in the playground in an organized way, all the pupils from secondary and Bachillerato had to go to Primary and Infantil holding the hand of two children (one on each hand) after that had to go to the playground and stand where the teacher told as. We weren’t standing just there , we were standing in a special way, I mean, there was  PAZ (peace) written on the flour and a kind of ball of yarn. When we were standing in our places one person of each year had to hold a white balloon and one teacher read something and then we threw the balloon in the air. After that we had a minute of silence to pray and then we sang a song.

I think that this was a fun and different experience which I found very interesting and cool, because for the first time in my life ALL THE SCHOOL was reunited in the same place all quiet and praying for peace. It was such a beautiful act and I would love to do something similar next year.
