Dia de Canarias-Day of the Canary Islands

Friday 30 May is 'Dia de Canarias' (The Day of the Canary Islands) and is a bank holiday in the Canary Islands. The children at El Roque School celebrated it the day before by coming into school dressed in traditional La Palma costume, making sweets and eating typical food from the island.

It looks like Paddy Bear had great fun! They are busy learning 'Scarborough Fair' and we will be starting to learn a La Palma 'Isa' called 'Palmero sube a La Palma'.
