This month our theme is PEACE. In a world of uncertainty and violence, children need to learn how to be agents of peace for themselves and others.
What is Peace?
- Absence of war – freedom from war, or the time when a war or conflict ends
- Law and order – the absence of violence or other disturbances in our province/country/home
- Getting along with others – freedom from conflict or disagreement among people or groups of people
- Inside calm – a state of mental calm and serenity, with no anxiety. Feeling calm and not stressed inside.
