Today the teachers and kids came to the school dressed with colorful traditional clothes unlike the other days. Reason was that they are celebrating new year early as the school vacation is set to start from Tomorrow. They started the ceremony with boiling milk which symbolizes the prosperity for the new year. Then then will eat new year traditional sweets. They are also planing a new year game festival on Saturday at the YMCA ground.
In Sri Lanka the new year is celebrated on 13th and 14 April. According to Sri Lankan astrology, New YEar begins when the sun moves from Meena Rashiya (House of Pisces) to to Mesha Rashiya (House of Aries). It also marks the end of harvesting season.
