Enthusiasm – British School’s Science Day theme
View(s):Creating enthusiasm for science took higher priority at the annual Science Day of British School in Colombo. This event was held at the school auditorium last week.
For the eager children it was an unforgettable day as they enjoyed a wide range of practical experiments in science throughout the day. The main objective of the event was to raise awareness of science and encourage children to be “scientists” for the day.
The most significant feature in this year’s Science Day was that all events were conducted under a common theme titled ‘Flora’. This is a famous character in school 
books to promote science. In fact all the children were given the opportunity to create something with ‘Flora’ and its expeditions.
In addition, an inter-house quiz competition was also something new that provided the children with more opportunities to participate in the events, which has been a general theme of British School in Colombo.
In fact, this pupil-centred teaching method is a hallmark of British Education and ensures that effective learning takes place because the pupils are actively involved all the time in their learning. The ultimate goal in organizing such an event is to cultivate interest among the children and to improve their understanding in science. Through this approach to learning science, British School authorities aim to produce students who are genuine scientists and who will achieve world class results in the sybject. – NA
