Halloween Concert 2013

We all outdid ourselves this year. With each year, everyone seems to be more groovy with their costumes. So we have "batty" people, Egyptian dun-know-whats and lots of cranky teachers running wild on Halloween morning. We can only be thankful it's not Halloween night yet!!

Thank you for spending so much time doing the deco

Visit by Damian Hill from Kooka Kids, Japan

TAK warmly welcomed Mr Damian Hill from Kooka Kids English House, Kagoshima, Japan for a visit during our Friday Special. Our kids warmed up to Damian very quickly, involving him in their Friday Special games. Back at the toddlers class, Damian whipped out his phone and connected us to his school in Kagoshima. So we had his Japanese students staring at our Vietnamese kids and vice versa. Amazing how technology can be used to bridge huge physical distances, and thus bridging cultural differences too. Thank you, Damian, for visiting.
