Girlie Dela Cruz, a teacher in the Philippines, has devised one of the cutest systems ever to let children in her class in her class choose a greeting with corresponding emojis: a high-five, a handshake, a fist-bump, or a heart for a hug.

The primary school children all aged around five or six years old were filmed arriving for classes in Malabon Elementary School in Malabon City, the Philippines on Monday (June 10).

''The children like this and it's a good way to bond with them. The relationship between children and teachers is very important for their learning," said Dela Cruz.

This is the adorable way that youngsters greet their teacher every morning - choosing what to do from a sign on the wall.
