ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Career Day
Inspiring Ambition
The children had a lesson on different types of careers, and they learned how to dress according to their ambition. They did it well, but unfortunately, only ten children participated in the event. Some students do not participate in extracurricular activities, and their parents also do not want to help them. They were very nice on that day.
Annual Trip
Sparking Imagination
For the annual trip this year, we decided to travel to areas very close because children tend to get tired. So we visited special places in Hambanthota: Sooriyawewa airport, bird paradise, botanical garden, and Ridiyagama Safari Park. Children observed how to land a plane and fill it with fuel. The children rode in a tram that was driven by a guide, who explained about every type of tree. Afterwards, we visited Ridiyagama Safari Park. Safari buses were staffed with a driver and a guide, who explained about every type of animal. We saw a lion come near to the bus. We could see elephants, lions, camels, ostriches, deer, zebras, monkeys, and pigs. This trip allowed the children to see many different types of trees, birds, and animals, and they enjoyed it very much.
Different Nationalities
Teaching Diversity
The children had a lesson where they learned that there are different nationalities that dress in different ways. The teachers described how they dress, and the children had an opportunity to dress like a different nationality.
