ASYC Halloween Concert 2012

We had one "hell" of a time yesterday with our Halloween Concert 2012. This year's costumes certainly stood out as many strange little kids were found running around. The items were a riot and everyone had a scary good time.

Lots of strange tiny people!!

Halloween is coming

Watch out for our Halloween celebration on 31 Oct 2012. 

Halloween Celebration

ASYC classes celebrated Halloween in their own preferred way this year. Some classes had games while others put up class performances. All children went home with a bag of treats; some with additional "ghostly" lollipops; some with balloon swords given by Mr Pirate himself.

Halloween

ASYC will be celebrating Halloween on Fri 28 Oct 2011.

Some information about Halloween :

• Halloween is celebrated on 31 Oct every year.
• It is a Western festival that is fast gaining popularity in the East.
• Halloween began as a festival from Ireland to ward off evil spirits.
• People carve out scary faces and figures in pumpkins, place a candle inside and set in their windows to scare away evil spirits and enemies on Halloween.
• The traditional colours used for most Halloween decorations are black and orange.
• Characters associated with Halloween : ghosts, witches, skeletons, vampires, werewolves, bats and black cats
• People celebrate Halloween by going trick-or-treating, which means children dressing up in costumes to look like traditional characters, such as witches and ghosts, and go from house to house and say "trick or treat".
• Most will give treats - candy or small toys.
• Many homes will be decorated with Halloween themes to scare away evil spirits

ASYC celebrates the fun part of Halloween by giving out candies and having our children wear costumes of any kind. Nowadays, Halloween is celebrated with all kinds of costumes; it need not be scary. We celebrate Halloween as one of the many international festivals so as to increase the international awareness of our students. Last month we celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival. In Nov, we will celebrate the Indian Festival of Lights - Deepavali, and in Dec, Christmas.

Over the next 2 weeks, our children will be doing activities, crafts and worksheets in preparation for Halloween.

Halloween Concert

ASYC had our Halloween celebration last Fri 29 Oct 2010. We were entertained by a dog show and a comedian from the local circus. Our children had a great time parading around in their Halloween costumes. All went home happy as they had a good "trick or treat" harvest of crackers, lollipops and candy.
















The "ghosts" are actually lollipops wrapped in tissue, in case anyone's wondering...

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.
