New Year Celebrations
A Successful Festival
We conducted a festival in April, the special time for Sri Lankan Tamils to celebrate the New Year. Organized by the teachers, and with support from the parents, the event was a success.
During the New Year’s Festival, we taught the children why the New Year is special and why we celebrate it. Every child participated in the New Year’s games.
Madam Minerva also participated by presenting a gift to the children, and the teachers gave presents to them as well.

Year Begins Despite Challenges
After the New Year, we were unable to start the second year properly because of a bomb blast, so we began preschool in May. Although we started in May, the children’s attendance was low due to a fever virus. Due to this sickness, we were unable to celebrate the Vesak Festival. The attendance in June was also down.
