Halloween 2009

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.

Everybody looked so cute in their outfits, and even some of the parents came in costume, which created a great atmosphere.

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!!

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.

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.
