Iskl Peace Day

Peace Day
Peace Day, September 21. Peace Day is the only day a year where everyone puts aside their differences and unite as one.

Peace Day, Iskl
The skills and things I saw and learned this day were awesome. Me and my partner, Charlie were supposed to create a game and what we came up with was a form of twister but no one wanted to play but as soon as we got back to Mrs. Psillides room and we were instantly barraged by the sounds of laughter and happiness, fun and joy and many other sounds. I didn't actually learn anything and the only thing I learned is most people don't take part in games but they certainly love cookies! We were doing face painting, cookies, games, commitments and peace awareness. The entire atmosphere of the school was really, really happy. People were laughing and buying t-shirts for peace. In total we raised 611RM, thats $185. I really think our action projects have risen the awareness of peace.

Peace One Day - Seth

I got an idea that was 'If the Taliban lay down their arms and brought their kids for vaccinations, then it proves all people have some good in them and if we nurture that seed of goodness, even the worst terrorists will be good people.' I had also thought that if every day way peace day we could get millions of vaccinations done in a month. Last peace day 3.4 million people were vaccinated in Africa alone.
Peace is very important because without peace there is war and war takes and destroys lives. It is financially large and political and it cost a lot of resources. Without Peace the world would burn itself out and no one would be happy.
With Peace we can exploit new types of energy and with peace we can send people to undeveloped countries to help build and create new buildings. People can focus on helping to help the rainforest and endangered animals. It is very important to have peace because without it we would all probably die.
The hidden costs' of war is it creates hate, destroys live, is financially taxing, destroys a country's reputation and would make the world resources expire faster.
About our Assembly
The dance, speeches and electronic stuff all worked.
The dance worked because everyone knew it and a lot of the crowd started trying to do the main part of the song as well. The speeches were very effective because I noticed a huge amount of applause at the end of the intros and Sashank's speech.
All the electric stuff was great, but that's just my opinion. The videos, and the music were all excellent lengthes and types.
The poem could have really been improved.
Me and Charlie are partners for making a game for peace day.
