Another fun activity was creating drums using coconut shells which the students thoroughly enjoyed.

The celebration ended on a high note with the children sharing their coconut-based sweets fostering a sense of community and joy. Alongside the fun they expanded their vocabulary and understanding of coconuts making the learning experience both enriching and enjoyable.
