Our Peace week

Thank you so much to all the teachers who contributed and got involved in the project. You can have a look at the photos (posters, pinwheels and video) at the Cultura Inglesa blog http://culturainglesaudi.blogspot.com/ . Remember to tell your students to invite their parents to have a look.

THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE - 21st Sept (Friday)

A song for Peace Day: Somewhere over the rainbow / What a wonderful world (HAWAIIAN)


Did you know about this special day? Why don´t we do something special on the previous days? An online colleague of mine , Nick Peachey, shared this interesting site with wonderful ideas for classroom use. I believe this is a unique opportunity to teach more than just English. Have a look at the site:

A young man called Jeremy Gilley , the creator of an organization called Peace one Day, made this great video urging us to do something about PEACE on 21st Sept. Watch it and be inspired.
This is the link to the film:
