Hallowe’en Hoo-Ha

What a lot of fun activities led up to Hallowe’en at school!  We had our very own “pumpkin patch” in Nestor Park, and everyone got a pumpkin to take home!  A huge THANKS goes to our wonderful PAC for setting it all up for all our Primary students to enjoy!

 

 

Then Mrs. B. brought in 6 “table pumpkins” so that we could do some “pumpkin math“.  We compared all sorts of measurements, like… the circumference of our pumpkins compared to our heads, and the number of ribs on our pumpkins compared to a human being!

Next we scooped those goopy pumpkins and use 10 frame egg carton counters to count up all the seeds.  All together, we had 2605!  Wow! That’s a lot!  Then we got to decide on what kind of Jack 0’Lantern faces they should have.  Some of us were able to agree on a face, but others ended up with 4 faces!

Hallowe’en Day was FRIGHTFULLY FUN!  We went to different classrooms in the morning, for Hallowe’en activities and we also went to the gym for special races put on by the PAC.  (Mr. Della Vedova was there… he was dressed up like CHICKEN LITTLE and kept worrying that the sky was falling!  Poor Mr. DV!

Finally we got to the Hallowe’en Parade and party in the afternoon.  We got to see everyone’s costume in the gym, because it was raining outside.  Then we headed back to the classroom to make our Witches’ Brew… oooohhhhh, YUCK… there was Wizard Water #14, Bat’s Blood, Slimy Worms, hopping toads and MORE!  (Shhhh… don’t tell anyone that it was actually yummy!)  We brought party foods in the Canada Food Guide Groups and dressed them up as witches’ fingers, eyeballs, skeletons, and other scary things.  (Shhhh again… they were yummy too!)

At the end of the party there were so many individual goodie bags that we really didn’t need to go trick-or-treating (but we did anyway).  The only thing we forgot was to light our Jack o’Lanterns, so you’ll have to watch to the end of the Slide Show to see how they looked.
