The focus of this week’s assembly was the ‘International Day of Peace’. This year it was held on Thursday 23^rd September. The children considered what peace meant to them before leaning about the work that The United Nations started after the end of the Second World War. Each year the UN dedicate a theme to promote international peace. In 2023 the theme is ‘Global Goals’, these goals were designed to promote sustainable development across the world.
