In religion the past few weeks we have been talking about peace and harmony, bullying and about the war. We have been practicing a poem called Destiny. Here are the words and a short video that the kids have recited for you. I am very proud of their hard work and awesome group work skills they have put forth.  Enjoy!

 





 

DESTINY

Battleships, tanks; and planes in the sky
All carried troops prepared to die
In the name of Freedom.

We call them Veterans, those so brave,
Names faded now upon their grave
As families wept.

From the Great War to present day,
They gave their lives, not ones to say
I surrender.

Flags half mast as bugles blow
Graveyards echo, as we show
Respect they’ve earned.

How much more must we give?
So in harmony, we all can live
We just cry out for Peace.

Remember sacrifices that were made,
As time marches on, and memories fade
Proudly wear a “Poppy”.
