Peace for all the world!

In Greece we have got peace but in other countries there isn’t peace. They have got war. If there is peace, there are people. In this way people can be happy and they can go to their jobs. Children can play with their friends. People live in harmony together.

In war, people are scared and sad. They lose their houses and their belongings. In war many people get killed. Friends fight and become enemies. Also the country gets destroyed. Children are very hungry and have to take guns too. We love peace but we don’t love war.

We say YES to PEACE!Class E, 10th Primary school of Ptolemaida, Greece

We choose peace!

There is war in many countries. Army comes from the attackers’ country to the other. They come with guns, tanks and bombs. Now they build nuclear bombs. In Japan there has been the explosion of two nuclear bombs. Many people are hungry and scared. People go to war because they are sad. And the children are sad. Some of the children go to war. The rules say that children must go to school, play and they must not go to war. War is horrible. In the America vs Iraq war many people were killed and injured. If there is war everywhere, there will be poor people.
Peace is better than war. People are not hungry, there is food. There are also flowers and houses. Children can play. People can eat, can drink and play. For example, in Africa they have war. If they make peace, people in these countries will be happy. Peace wins the war. Children won’t be sad and scared, they will be happy. They can have fun, they can go to school. So, choose peace and be happy.

War vs Peace

Peace

I like peace, because people are happy and they play, travel, laugh, have fun. They have their freedom. People have got clothes, home, friends. The symbols of peace are flowers, pigeon, olive tree.

War

I don’t like war, because people are sad and unhappy. They cry, kill other people and they are dirty, hungry, tired and poor. People kill with tanks, bombs and weapons. In the towns panic, fear and terror predominates.

We hate ‘war’, ‘death’ and ‘destruction’. We love ‘peace’, ‘health’, ‘calmness’ and ‘freedom’! I hope all the people in the world to be healthy and happy!

THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE AND NO VIOLENCE

The 30th of january we celebrate the international day of peace. This day is the day when Ghandi died. It's very important day in the world, and it's a very beutiful day in our school, we sing songs and dance in the playground. In this day everybody try to be nice with other people. The symbol of the day it's the "dove of peace". In our school we decorate the walls with big pictures with messages of peace. The big pictures are normally made by the youngest students. When we go out to the playground, we put the pictures on the sportscentre windows and everybody see them.
This year we have made another activity: at eleven o'clock we have gone to the preschool classes to help the children to inflate balloons, and we put into them messages of peace, later on we all meet at the playground, teachers, students and parents carry a balloon each, everybody sits on the balloon and brakes it, then people read the messages and everybody sing a song all togheter.
