Virtual visit to the Philippines for International Day

19th May 2026
Our class showcased the vibrant and colourful Filipino culture on Friday as we celebrated International Culture with our whole school community. We made colourful birds and shared a traditional tale of the Sarimanouk, we each researched and shared some fun facts about the Philippines such as how many islands ( a mega 7,641) make up the country. Finally we sampled tasty snacks and treats and tried our best to learn soma Tagalog phrases. Have a look at some of the photos from this very special day! We are already looking forward to next year.
