We APS has celebrated Halloween for four years since APS was established in 2016. Every year we have held a great Halloween Party at school.
One week before the Halloween we had begun to prepare for the party. Pumpkins are always a symbol of Halloween. We would make a Jack-o-lantern with pumpkins and brought it to school to decorate our classroom. We also decorated our classroom and hallway with some spiders, skeletons and other spooky things. Our teachers and parents would decorate the gym and make a haunted house. They would also prepare some interesting games for Halloween party.
On Halloween we would dress up in different costumes to school in the morning. Monsters, Ghosts, Pirates, Iron man, Capital American and a lot of other popular characters could be seen everywhere in the school. During Morning exercise, we would visit every APS classroom and the teachers’ office to play trick or treat, we would hold our bags open to catch the candy or other goodies that the teachers drop in.
In the afternoon our Halloween Party began at gym. First, We would like to join the Halloween games, like archery, basketball, bean bag toss etc. We would get some stars in the games and could change mysterious gifts with the stars. Then we would explore the haunted house. Our parents who dressed in ghosts, witches, vampires hid in the haunted house and scare us all the time. Finally, we would choose the best Halloween Costume in every classroom and took some pictures with our teachers and parents. Our parents also prepared lots of delicious food for the party every year, like chocolate, cakes, fruit juice and some cookies. We could enjoy this food all the party.
Halloween Party is one of the most important activity in our school and everyone loves it. We wish our Halloween Party could be held every year and more people can join us and share our pleasure.
