Peace Day

In Spain, schools celebrate Peace Day on 30th January. Peace Day is a day when we think about respect and friendship, and it’s a celebration of diversity in our world. People ask for peace and harmony for everyone.

In some schools, children plant trees on Peace Day. Trees are a symbol of hope and life. Olive trees and the olive branch are symbols of peace. Some children write poems or make posters.

This is the peace flag. It’s a dove with the branch of an olive tree in its mouth.

The dove is a symbol of peace.

Let’s make a dove!

1. First, draw around your hand, then cut it out.2. Write your name and a message of peace on the paper hand. 3. Stick the hands to the drawing of a dove to make the wings and

feathers.
