We celebrate peace at school / Celebramos la paz en la escuela



These are the days in which we celebrate peace at school. In fact, this celebration happens daily, but we want to mark the word peace in our classrooms, making pupils think about the real meaning of peace and what we can do to make it really work.

Estos son los días en los que celebramos la paz en la escuela. De hecho, este celebración sucede a diario, pero queremos marcar la palabra paz en nuestras clases, haciendo que los alumnos piensen en el significado verdadero de la paz y lo que podemos hacer para que de verdad funcione.

Hello, I'm Wakana... / Hola, soy Wakana...




Hello, I'm Wakana. I'm 21 years old and I was born in Nara, Japan but grew up mostly in Auckland, New Zealand, where I am living now. I have just finished studying at university in Auckland where I studied Sociology and Education. Auckland is a very interesting city and it is very culturally diverse, many different people from all across the world live here. Auckland sits on a lot of volcanoes which makes it very hilly. It is also surrounded by many beautiful beaches! While Auckland is a big city, the rest of New Zealand has a lot of forest, mountains and other beautiful places. 
Nara in Japan is very different from New Zealand. In Nara, there is a famous park with a temple that has a huge statue of Buddha inside it. And this temple is surrounded by a park full of wild deer! It is very cool. 
In Auckland, I live with my family, my dad, my mum, and my two younger brothers. My dad is an English teacher and my mum works at a cafe. My whole family is obsessed with soccer! Especially my brothers. I'm not much of a fan of soccer as they are but I love to go out and meet new people and explore new places. During the summer time my favourite thing to do is to go to the local beach. I also really enjoy reading. At the moment I work at my favourite cafe which is really fun too. 
I am really looking forward to arriving in Lucena and meeting everyone. It is very exciting!!

Hola, Soy Wakana. Tengo 21 años y nací en Nara, Japón, aunque crecí mayormente en Auckland, Nueva Zelanda, donde vivo ahora. Acabo de terminar de estudiar en la Uniersidad en Auckland, donde cursé Sociología y Educación. 
Auckland es una ciudad muy interesante y es culturalmente diversa. Mucha gente diferente de distintas partes del mundo vive allí.  Auckland se sitúa en una zona volcánica, lo que la hace muy abrupta. Está también rodeado por muchas bonitas playas. MIentras que Auckland es una gran ciudad, el resto de Nueva Zelanda tiene muchos bosques, montañas y otros bonitos lugares.
Nara, en Japón, es muy diferente a Nueva Zelanda. En Nara, hay un famoso parque con un templo con una gran estatua de Buda en su interior. Este templo está rodeado por un parque habitado por ciervos salvajes. Es muy guay.
En Auckland vivo con mi familia: mi padre, mi madre y mis dos hermanos más jóvenes. Mi papá es profesor de inglés y mi madre trabaja en un café. Mi familia entera está obsesionada con el fútbol. Especialmente mis hermanos. Yo no soy tan aficionada al fútbol como ellos, pero me encanta salir y conocer gente nueva y explorar nuevos sitios. Durante el verano, mi pasatiempo favorito es ir a la playa local. También disfruto leyendo. En este momento trabajo en mi café favorito, lo que es divertido también.
Estoy deseando llegar a Lucena y encontrarme con todo el mundo. Es muy emocionante.
