We started the day with a brilliant disco, thanks to the Parents Association! 🕺🎶 We saw some amazing dance moves. After that, we made a witches alphabet stew for our phonics lesson. Next, we played lots of Halloween games together. We made a big spider's web by throwing a ball of wool to each other. We were blindfolded and played pin the nose on the pumpkin and pin the bowtie on the skeleton. We played 'Pass the Pumpkin' (Pass the pumpkin round and round. Listen to the spooky sounds. Oooh, oooh. Will it stop on you? BOO!) Next, we did some pumpkin bowling, which was great fun! (Video will be posted next!) We listen to a story called, 'How Many Sleeps 'til Halloween?' and had a fashion show to show off our brilliant costumes! ![]()

To calm things down in the afternoon, we had our very own classroom cinema. Teacher surprised us by setting up our chairs in cinema rows, closing all the blinds so it was dark and having a cup of popcorn on our seats for us to enjoy whilst we watched a cartoon of 'Casper, The Friendly Ghost'. ![]()
