It wouldn’t be Hallowe’en without investigating a pumpkin and some of the children had a busy time last week emptying the flesh and seeds from their pumpkin. Both morning and afternoon children had a great experience investigating what they found inside their pumpkin, discussing safety around sharp knives, counting seeds and talking about how to describe what they could see and feel. Great fun was then had decorating their empty lanterns. It’s amazing the learning you can have from one simple pumpkin.<\/p>\n
