Please enjoy this beautiful poem by one of our grade 5/6 students:

Peace is…

Peace is love, a smile, not fighting
Peace is doing a picnic with all of my family
Peace is love,  being good to yourself
being happy and trying to make other happy
Peace is the wind or hearing calm music all by myself

Peace is sitting and watching our chickens while the birds sing
After a long day, peace is coming home and laying in my bed
Peace is like when you are in bed sleeping and dreaming

Peace is when I am with my family and friends
When I share my stuff with my friends
Peace is like a Friday morning when I walk to school seeing the forest and the animals
Or Being at the beach in the morning eating chips and listening to the waves

I feel peaceful when I can sleep and eat a good breakfast
When everyone has what they need

Peace is sitting on my porch listening to the wind
Connecting on Minecraft
Being by myself in silence for a moment with no interruptions

Peace is when you like what you have
Enjoying your life how it needs to be enjoyed

Peace is when I am with my friends and when I am silent
Peace is when I am helping somebody and also when I am eating
Peace is like a long Saturday morning and pancakes
Peace is what keeps us together
