We Remember. . . . .

Yesterday we had a very moving and powerful assembly honour the many men and women who served our country during the wars.  Our gym was beautifully decorated with symbols of peace, love and remembrance.

                                                                                                                                                                   We had a bagpiper lead us into the gym.
She played many familiar tunes that we recognized.

Our choir sang, students shared their thoughts about peace and we watched a video of a Canadian singer playing and singing a song about our veterans.  If you would like to hear it click on the link below.

Once we were back in our class we read a thought provoking story called, "Tusk Tusk" by David McKee.  It is about  overcoming differences, understanding others and making the world a better place that is written in a way young children can relate to.  We loved it and highly recommend reading it.

Thank you Chantrell Creek for providing us with such a thoughtful, powerful and inspiring assembly and thank you to our special guests for honoring us with your presence.
