NORMAN ROCKWELL

Today, we celebrate Norman Rockwell's birthday. He was born on February 3rd, in 1984. He was an American painter and illustrator. His works enjoy a broad popular appeal in the United States, where Rockwell is most famous for the cover illustrations of everyday life scenes he created for The Saturday Evening Post magazine over more than four decades. Do you want to see one of his pictures? They're fantastic!

PLAYING FOR CHANGE

Street musicians from all over the world singing and playing together the legendary Bob Marley song "One love" to promote peace through music. Simply marvellous!

SCHOOL PEACE DAY

On Saturday 30th, we celebrate the Non Violence and Peace Day. This day is the anniversary of the death of the spiritual and national Indian leader, Mahatma Gandhi.
In Tomelloso, schools celebrate Peace Day on Thursday 28th. The goal of this day is to point out the importance of solidarity among countries. Some weeks ago, Haiti suffered one of the worst Earthquakes in the History of Humanity. Next Thursday is a good day to think of it, what can we do now and in a next future? The world can’t allow a similar tragedy.
I give you a Confucio’s thought: BETTER TO LIGHT A CANDLE THAN TO CURSE THE DARKNESS. I think it’s a very good piece of advice.

And, of course, over here, there’s a video with one of the best songs about peace in the world and protection of the environment: “Imagine” by John Lennon. Can you make an effort and learn the lyrics? Cheer up!

WHAT TIME IS IT?

Do you remember the time? If you has forgotten it, watch this videos, I think you'll like them. And you can also play games and listen to songs about the time. I hope you enjoy and learn it.
