Nov. 10

It was so nice to see many parents and family members at our Remembrance Day Ceremony today. Our class did a wonderful job of being respectful during our ceremony. We spent lots of time discussing why this was a more solemn and serious ceremony.  We also handed out poppies to all students.  We reviewed that our poppies are a symbol or peace and talked about what they represent. Because of these conversations, students showed responsible behaviour throughout the day with them. 

For our class contribution, we sang a song called "Dona Nobis Pacem".  They sang it beautifully and proudly. We also presented a short slideshow called "What is Peace at Ken Taylor School?".  We did some writing to give specific examples, some pictures to show this and included some of our poppies to display this symbol of peace.  Each child had the chance to either speak, show their artwork, show their poppy, or present the class wreath.  Here are a few of the pictures that we showed:

I hope you have a great weekend!
