Daily Life at Beanstalk International School
Check out the fun we had at our Halloween Parade this year, in our trailer video below!
There was so much action going on during the Halloween performances that we had to capture it all from different angles on dual cameras!
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
We look forward to seeing what kind of cute or scary costumes you will have next year.
On Friday October 28th, we held our 5th annual Beanstalk Halloween Parade.
As usual we started with a lunch party.
Each class performed songs that they had been practicing for weeks and they all did an excellent job. The crowd was especially appreciative of the Deedee Deer class dance number, with loud cheers and applause like we had never seen before from the parents.
After the performance we had a little dance party for a few songs. This year was our most fun dance party yet, with more people than ever not being shy and joining in whole-heartedly! Thank you everyone for your participation!
Of course after the lunch party and performance we hit the streets for our Trick or Treat Parade. Along the way we stopped at a retirement home and put on a show for the friendly residents, and this year, even some of our talented mothers put on a rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. This year we took a new course, and ended up in a nearby park.
Everybody had such great costumes and we very much look forward to Halloween next year so we can do it all over again, only bigger and better!
On Friday October 29th, we held our 4th annual Beanstalk Halloween Parade.
This year the staff decided to go the traditional Halloween route and wear scary movie character costumes. Our scary characters included The Mummy, Sally from The Nightmare before Christmas, The Headless Man, Dracula, Wolfman, a devil, The Scream guy and …….. a penguin.
As soon as everybody arrived in their gorgeous costumes we got right down to our lunch party.
After we all finished eating we moved to the gym for the much awaited Halloween dance performance. The highlight had to be the production of “Ghostbusters” by Robby Rabbit and Deedee Deer class. They were a great inspiration for the Missy Mouse class and we look forward to seeing what they can come up with next year.
Each class spent a lot of time practicing songs and dances for a Halloween performance in front of all the parents and their hard work certainly showed. The mothers and fathers as well as the teachers were all surprised at how well everybody remembered the words and the dance moves. Great work everybody!!
After the dance performance we took to the streets and went Trick or Treating around the neighborhood. Our cute costumes drew a lot of attention from everybody who saw us.
Along the Halloween parade route, we stopped by Kotobukiso, a local senior citizens home, like we do each year, and put on a Halloween performance for the friendly residents.
They really seemed to be excited to see us and really got into the dances and songs.
Our next big event will be the Christmas party and the children are already hard at work practicing their new songs and dance moves. We look forward to seeing you then!

We are keeping an eye on the weather forecast, but at the moment it looks like it might rain on Friday.
It’s too early as yet to make a decision on whether or not we will be able to do our annual Halloween parade around the neighborhood, but we will make a decision by 3pm on Friday.
On Friday October 30th, Beanstalk International School held our third annual Halloween Parade!
This is an event that everybody looks forward to all year and the fun we have and the funny costumes (and not to mention the trick or treat candy) becomes something that the students and parents love to talk about for a long time.
Above you can see the Missy Mouse class and the Robby Rabbit class is pictured below. Everybody looked so cute in their outfits, and even some of the parents came in costume, which created a great atmosphere.

At the end of the show we presented them with a craft project that all the students worked on for weeks, which is pictured below. Each student made their own leaf which we then put on the tree, and there are also twigs and nuts that we collected from the park and placed at the base of the tree as well as interspersed throughout the leaves.
Happy Halloween to everybody and we look forward to seeing what fantastic costumes everybody has in store for next year.
