I would like to say a huge thank you to the former students of Grade 5 who, in May 2008, designed a Peace Garden within the school grounds as part of their PYP Exhibition. The garden was completed in March 2009. Please come and visit the garden and have a read of the lovely messages the students wrote on tiles which surround the peace pole. I am sure their former teacher, Ms Watson, would be as proud as I am of their sheer hard work. The students are now in Grade 7.

Yesterday after school, four students from Grade 4&5 went to the Peace Park to deliver the beautiful cranes which have been sent to us over the last 3 months. Here are some photos the team took. We shared/read the lovely letters and prayers which were also included within the boxes. Please keep folding cranes and sending these to us. Thank you to all who are participating within this petition for Peace.

The Grade 4/5 Team Members.
