Halloween fun at ACS Cobham
Halloween fever took over ACS Cobham on Friday ,October 30, as students dressed up as ghouls and devils for the school's annual spooky festivities.
In the afternoon, younger pupils of the international school, in Portsmouth Road, took
part in a parade dressed in full Halloween costume while watched by the rest of the school.
In the evening, the eighth annual trick or trunk event took place in the grounds, where families dress up the trunks of their cars where children could collect sweets.
As well as this, Halloween games, bouncy castles and a light dinner was provided for the 1,400 people that attended.
There was also a haunted house on display, which had been made by the school's International Baccalaureate drama students.
The event was organised by parent volunteers from the parent school organisation.
Principal of ACS Cobham, Lucy Chapman, said: "The children very much enjoy taking part in the Halloween parade, the costumes are always imaginative and fun.
"Many teachers always join in as well, with great enthusiasm."
Chairperson of the Trick of Treat event, Tammy Hachmer, said: "Trick or treating does not seem to be as common a tradition in England, as it is in North America, and with just under half of ACS Cobham students coming from North America the students and families are keen to celebrate Halloween and share the experience with friends from other countries."
