A colourful tree is one of the magnificent creations created by the pupils of Poplar Academy.

The school saw it fit to allow children to learn about other cultures in an educational and fun environment.

“[Although it was not a school day] we held the events on 16 May at the school,” said teacher Bonita Visagie speaking on behalf of Poplar Academy.

“The children enjoyed the fun arts and crafts activities, African face painting, song and dance and tasting the delicious food,” she said.

Pupils learn arts and crafts in a fun and friendly environment.

Platters of savoury and sweet food await those who’ve come to Poplar Academy’s open day and cultural day.

Tasting food from different cultures can be a daunting experience, but Bonita Visagie says the pupils of Poplar Academy thoroughly enjoy the experience.
