A very excited party of 6 pupils and 4 adults represented Woodheys at the Presentation. Woodheys Primary School was commended for a whole team approach, consistently enriching pupils learning by uniting the issues of nature and sustainability with the aspects of spirituality, peace and multicultural education.

According to the panel of judges´ report: "the ethic of Peace Mala is lived entirely throughout the school, which is a shining example of joyful living without harm." http://www.everyclick.com/peacemala

Peace Mala Entry: Danni Clifton, Carmarthenshire College

"I have produced a canvas representing what ´Tolerance´ means to me by showing different aspects of the world in one piece.

Firstly, I have created two separate hands that are visually coming down from the sky that contains a personal response and somewhat a message that is scattered amongst the canvas itself and entwined in the world and other aspects of imagery.

The two hands represent the contrast and the combination of race, one hand is white and the other is Black; therefore showing the coming together of races. And by the fact that they both grasp onto the world itself, this shows the unity between race, peace and life´s´ differences. The world has been created to look as if it has come out innocently due to the obvious view of it being how the world is portrayed in space. I have used a simple and clearly obvious view of the world to create a straight forward picture of what life is overall- despite the tragedies and the destruction in life when the world is viewed as how I have portrayed it in my image; it is seen as innocent and overall we view it as an object, without boundaries of complication.
The words on the canvas are scattered; written in different fonts and styles of writing and parted away from each other so that they become harder to read as one piece; therefore when people do read it they have to make an effort to put it all together.

The earthly flowers and vines that wrap around the world and contrast with the darkened side of the background shows the natural aspects of life and how they should be respected more and not taken advantage of through war, defeat and destruction amongst people of the world.

I have originally put this piece on top of a black background filled with stars, moons and other planets showing a surrealist view of life and of the universe; However, for this piece I have put only half of this into my piece and added shades of purple, lilacs, pinks and whites in the centre fading out into the world and into the universe to represent two sides of life".
