This week we have been exploring themes around Remembrance Day.  We used the book, What Does Peace Feel Like? by Vladimir Radunsky, as our inspiration and then completed the phrase, “Peace feels like”.  The students shared their ideas on these beautiful doves which will be on display as part of a larger school-wide bulletin board.  Each of their individual ideas has been recorded below.
