Halloween
Every year near the end of October the students of Aya have an opportunity to celebrate Halloween. Past events included Haunted Houses, Trick or Treating, costume and coloring contests along with a carnival like atmosphere of various games to challenge even the best of witches or goblins.
Halloween and it's various customs and legends from around the world are introduced to the students of Aya Elementary school before the event. The students hopefully have some understanding of the history and legends of Halloween when it comes time to celebrate or maybe they would just rather eat the candy and have fun.
Winter Fun
is just that. Winter fun! During the cold winter months students are invited
for a day of fun. Guests representing other countries are also invited.
In
past events countries such as Australia, Canada, Italy, New Zealand, Singapore
and the Untied States were represented. When the afternoon is finished
hopefully everyone leaves with a sense of how having fun is without boundaries.
Parent and Child English class
During the summer holidays students and parents are given the oppurtunity to study English together. Directed towards the elementary students, lessons cover must of what is taught in the English classes during the year. Songs, games and fun are the plan for these summer time English lessons.
The Singapore Home stay program began in June 2000. Organized and supported by the Aya Board of Education and Aya Junior High School, it offers students the opportunity of living in a multi cultural environment first hand.
About 30 students and 5 adults from Aya visit Singapore in August. In December students from Singapore visit Aya. Students prepare before hand studying the culture, language as well as learning what the two countries have in common.
