The brightest costume masquerade took place across all ENS campuses right before the autumn holidays!
ENS Mosfilm (October 27)
From early morning, friendly little spiders “crawled” along the walls, and guests were greeted by clowns, princesses, and mermaids. Our youngest participants—Nursery and Reception—became active partakers in the autumn celebration: the children arrived in colourful costumes of different characters, joined the Parade, and went on a real “trick-or-treat” hunt. Little witches, superheroes, princesses—our children tried on all kinds of looks.
They eagerly took part in discussions and also prepared for the celebration by cutting out and colouring pumpkins. It became a full workshop on making Halloween pumpkins. In Year 1, the day was dedicated to India—music, dancing, Indian utensils, and spices. What could be brighter and more fun than Indian festivals? The children turned into real Indian princesses and maharajas, played games, took part in contests, and spent the day in an Indian-themed atmosphere.
Year 2 and ESL had a true Halloween celebration: everyone dressed up as fairytale characters, joined a dance battle, and decorated the main symbol of the holiday—the pumpkin. Then they all took part in the traditional “trick or treat,” receiving small souvenirs and magical gifts from everyone they visited. For Year 3, the week ended with a Caveman Day as part of their “Stone Age” topic. Participants transformed into real cave people with spears and stone tips, built a prehistoric dwelling—a cave with wall paintings and a fire pit in the centre—made “weapons,” and went “hunting.” The costumes the children created made them true inhabitants of the ancient world, and the day was bright and full of joyful эмоции.
ENS Onegino (October 28)
The masquerade at ENS Onegino took place on October 28. The children began preparing a week in advance with тематические crafts, decorations, appliqués, and drawings. Many also tried themselves as real bakers and made festive cookies as gifts for their parents, grandparents.
Everyone looked forward to the celebration, preparing costumes long before the date and eagerly waiting for the moment they could dress up. In the morning, children arrived in costume and stepped into a mysterious atmosphere—right at the entrance they were greeted by a storybook character: Maleficent! After breakfast, everyone went to the sports hall for the main event of the day—the costume parade. It had everyone: cheerful skeletons, funny minions, little witches, ninjas, cats, pirates, and many more. After the parade, the best costumes were selected and certificates were awarded for the most creative looks (many children showed excellent acting skills). The official part ended with energetic dancing by all the characters.
Next, everyone enjoyed a fruit snack, and pirate-chefs invited the children aboard their “ship” to taste treats. Refreshed, the children set off for adventures: at several stations they completed different tasks (repeat a dance, decorate a cookie, play a themed game, make a pumpkin lantern). Everyone had fun and headed off for the holidays in a great mood. We look forward to seeing everyone on November 7!
