Halloween Preparation

Preparations are underway for a fun Halloween. Everyone's excited about dressing up for the occasion. Parents have been very supportive in acquiring Halloween costumes and masks for their children. Teachers have been busy decorating and making masks for the day. Our work this week centres on Halloween too, and next week too. Have a look at some of the decorations.

Friday Special - A trip to the Zoo

The Zoo has improved quite a bit since our last visit. There's a new crocodile park, a white tiger and the hippo and its cousin, the pygmy hippo are now "housed" in separate pools of their own. Vietnamese are still unable to resist feeding the animals and the pygmy hippo had a good snack of Vinamilk this morning, courtesy of a "kind" Vietnamese lady.

Our kids enjoyed themselves despite the hour-long ride there. We tested out our self-made walking rope this morning - it worked fine with the little kids. Have a look.

B for Butterfly

The K2 kids did a craft project on butterflies for English class (B for Butterfly). They had a good time decorating their butterflies (with a little help from teacher on the head and feelers). The completed butterfly craft is nice and colourful. Well done, kids.

A new month

A month has passed since school reopened. Our children have settled down well in school and celebrated our first event of the school year - Mid-Autumn Festival. For October, we look forward to a school excursion in mid-Oct and to Halloween Celebration in end-Oct. Teachers are already busy planning for these 2 exciting events.

Our teachers have completed their first-aid training at the Binh Tan Education Department. For some, it is a revision of what they have already learnt. This is part of ASYC's on-going efforts to ensure that our teachers are trained to give first-aid for minor injuries.

Ms Tham, our K1 teacher, has been promoted to Vice-Principal. Congratulations! ASYC has expanded to about 140 students and Ms Dung, our Principal, needs an assistant to ensure that ASYC continues to maintain our high standards of care and education. Ms Tham will move to the office to start work once a suitable replacement has been found for her.
