For the last four weeks of Term 3 we were learning about ‘How we can be Champions on Peace’.
Firstly we learnt about the different symbols of peace. Some of these are olive branches, Doves, and the CND sign.
These symbols represent peace because of their backstories. For example, the CND sign represents peace because in WWII it was used to signal victory by allied nations. The olive branch represents peace because it was a sign from God that he had stopped the flooding in 1600 BCE. Doves were also used during this flooding, the dove was the one carrying this olive branch, to signal that there was land nearby.
With these symbols in mind I created a Peace Artwork. My Peace Artwork represents peace because it contains three recognizable peace symbols.
We also researched some real life champions of peace and wrote a short biography. I wrote about Jesus. I thought he was a champion of peace because he is the son of God himself. He has created many miracles, and rose up to heaven.
We also created a peace prayer book. I have attached my peace prayer book here.
I enjoyed learning about peace because it gave me more understanding of how I can be peaceful myself in my everyday life.
I learnt that it might be harder then it looks to be a peace maker, but as long as you know how to be peaceful, than you can achieve it.
One way I plan on being a champion of peace is by thinking before I act. Anytime I feel myself getting angry I will use techniques to calm myself down, such as taking deep breaths, or just removing myself from the situation.
How do you show peace? Make sure to let me know!
