The Halloween excitement at began early with a memorable pre-celebration event on October 28th. Class 2B paid a special visit to Class 6C, presenting a lively performance of the song “Go Away”, complete with colorful costumes including a ghost, a cackling witch, a monstrous fiend, and a thirsty vampire. The 6th graders responded with a unique challenge: they rewarded the 2nd graders with cool, handmade Halloween pins but only if they could win a round of "paper, scissors, stone."

            On the morning of October 31st, on the school grounds, the annual Halloween celebration officially kicked off. The youngest participants, 1st and 2nd graders, delighted everyone with an enthusiastic chant of the classic “Trick or Treat” rhyme. Meanwhile, the 3rd through 6th graders tested their agility and quick thinking in a Halloween-themed vocabulary game, performing spooky actions from the cards they picked. Those who did well were rewarded with tasty candy treats!

      This year’s Halloween event was a resounding success, perfectly combining festive traditions, engaging games, and friendly peer interaction. Congratulations to all the students and teachers for making the 2025 celebration a fun, memorable, and wonderfully spooky occasion! 

             Originally scheduled for October 31st, the school-wide Halloween celebration was postponed to November 5th due to the effects of Typhoon Kong-rey. Despite the delay, the students’ excitement and enthusiasm remained high as they finally got the chance to celebrate the much-awaited event. Learners came to school wearing colorful costumes and proudly showcased their creative handmade hats, masks, and props. The campus was filled with laughter, joy, and Halloween spirit as everyone participated in the festive activities prepared by the teachers.

       One of the highlights of the celebration was the English Trick-or-Treat challenge, where students confidently recited the rhyme, “Trick or Treat, give me something good to eat!” to their teachers. Their efforts and courage were rewarded with candies and sweet treats, making the activity both fun and educational. The celebration became a memorable experience for everyone, proving that not even a strong storm could stop the students from enjoying the Halloween festivities and expressing their creativity and school spirit.

        This school year, students from different grade levels took part in meaningful and creative activities to express gratitude. Grade 3 students worked together to create a large Thankful Turkey, with each student writing one feather about what they are thankful for. Grade 5 students made their own individual Thankful Turkeys, reflecting on their blessings through simple English writing and creative artwork.

Grade 6 students created beautiful Autumn Leaves showing deeper reflections of appreciation through both writing and design. These activities helped students practice English while learning the importance of thankfulness. C

        In honor of Thanksgiving, the Grade 5 and 6 students reflected on their blessings and wrote in English about what they are thankful for. These messages of gratitude were turned into feathers for their Thankful Turkey, which they carefully colored, cut, and assembled. Grade 6 students also created a Gratitude Wreath to express their appreciation in a creative way. The activity beautifully integrated English writing, creativity, and the value of thankfulness, making the celebration truly meaningful. 

This past Christmas season, our youngest learners from Grades 1 and 2 brought smiles and festive cheer through a joyful Christmas caroling activity! With hearts full of excitement and voices ready to sing, they visited Grades 3 and 4, sharing the holiday spirit one song at a time. 

I was so proud to see how confidently and cheerfully they performed. The older students were pleasantly surprised and clapped along and a few even joined in the singing! 

Through this fun activity, students didn’t just sing—they also:

• Practiced English vocabulary and sentence patterns

• Learned about Christmas traditions

• Built confidence in speaking in front of others

• Experienced the joy of giving through song

It was a beautiful reminder that learning English can be joyful, musical, and full of meaning—especially during the holiday season.

Great job to our young carolers! Thank you for spreading smiles and music throughout the school. Let’s keep the spirit of kindness and joy all year round! 🎶🎄❤️
