Sri Lanka is a small island nation in the Indian Ocean, just south of India. Its geography is diverse, with golden sandy beaches along the coastline, lush green rainforests, and rolling tea plantations in the central highlands. The island is home to many rivers, waterfalls, and mountains, including Adam’s Peak, a sacred site. Sri Lanka’s warm tropical climate supports a wide variety of plants and animals, making it a paradise for nature lovers. Its unique shape has earned it the nickname “The Pearl of the Indian Ocean.”

"On Cultural Heritage day, people bought delicious food from their culture, like samosas, pakoras, and many more. The food was amazing and different cultures had different delicious foods. Throughout the week we have been learning about Sri-Lanka, and it is such a beautiful tropical place. I would love to visit Sri Lanka and the beach and see the beautiful waterfalls." - Arya R

"On Cultural Heritage day we learnt why having a culture is important. Throughout the week we learnt about Sri Lanka and for homework we created beautiful posters. We also bought some food and shared our cultural food with everyone on Cultural Day. It was amazing! There are so many mesmerising places that I would love to visit in Sri Lanka, including their wonderful  waterfalls. A fun fact about Sri Lanka is that the country was one called Ceylon until 1972. Did you know that?" - Fatima Z
