Teaching Traditions
In April, before the New Year’s vacation, teachers organized a New Year’s festival celebration at Palathuduwa Preschool. The purpose of this was to teach our young students the importance and traditions of the New Year’s festival. Now we share these traditions with the children. During the New Year’s celebration at Palathuduwa Preschool, teachers explained New Year’s games, traditional clothing, and how we prepare for the New Year. Teachers also taught students the meaning of auspicious and inauspicious times, and what is traditionally appropriate at different times.

Welcoming Guests
In June, foreign visitors came to Palathuduwa Preschool. Our children welcomed the visitors well. Our teachers and parents prepared small treats at the village temple, and the children performed short songs with a dance. They were very happy with them. The visitors brought toys for the children, presenting a small gift bag to each child. This team usually visits Palathuduwa Preschool once a year.
