Harmony Day

Peace and Harmony means being friends with everyone. The friends like and play together. In ‘The Peace Book’, the author says: “Peace is being different, feeling good about yourself, and helping others. The world is a better place because of you.”

Because today is Harmony day, we had a special visitor. He bought lots of doves and let them come out. The man was holding one special white dove that we were allowed to touch. Mrs Pericles talked on the microphone. The birds flew away to their home.

The doves were born at the man’s house, he raised them, looked after them, and fed them, so now every time he lets them go, they will come back home. It took 5 weeks to train the doves, and they will live for about 7 years.

This week at school we made some doves too. We painted them orange, blue, purple, red and green. With white paint we did a handprint for their hearts. We used strong glue to put feathers and googly eyes on them!
