Philippines teacher surprises class returning from holidays with portraits of themselves

An English teacher in the Philippines had a surprising gift for her class when they returned from the Christmas holidays.

Roselyn Barcoma’s grade nine students thought it was just an ordinary school day but when they entered their classroom they found a portrait had been placed on each desk.

Barcoma had secretly been sketching portraits of every class member throughout the whole of December.    

She told BBC that when they saw the portrait on everyone's desk, they were surprised, speechless at first, then thanked her for the portraits.
