Okay maybe we are a day late but it’s fine! There is no better day for a costume contest and some treats than a Friday anyway…

Today pupils came to school dressed in their spookiest best – we had a lot of zombified professions as well as some classics! Pupils did their usual laps of the room while the house captains and teachers  made their judgements on the best costumes.  This was no easy task – as you can see from the photos everyone looked super spooky A big well done to the parents as well as the pupils – a lot of effort went into some of these costumes! 🧛‍♀️🦇🎃

The fabulously spooky winners were:
P1 – Kendall 
P2 – Orla 
P3 – Sally
P4 – Ross
p5 – Paige
P6 – Arran 
P7 – Alistair

Then we got stuck into some games altogether! Pupils had an absolute blast playing the games organised by the house captains. We kick started the games with a very competitive game of creepy corners, which features a lot of strategising but our final winner was Robert! Next up we played pass the pumpkin with two of the smallest pumpkins I have ever saw, our winners were Freddie (P1-4) and Bryleigh (P5-7). 👻💀

Haunted chairs was next on the agenda, when the music stopped chairs would mysteriously disappear and pupils had to find somewhere to sit but our final winner was Joey! Next was a new Halloween game called Capture the Pumpkin (a Halloween retake of the age-old classic Capture the Flag); teams has been redecided by our house captains and  after a lot of running around our winners were – Ivan, Arran, James, Jessica, Kaylyn, Arryn, Archie and Ross. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

After all that running around we were all feeling a bit hot and sweaty so we thought why not cool ourselves down by sticking our heads in a huge bowl of water, filled with apples!! 🍎 Both classes played Dookin’ for Apples, a fan favourite which was lots of fun! Those wearing face paint sadly had to sacrifice their carefully painted designs in attempt to retrieve an apple, which meant we had some very wet, soggy looking pandas leaving the playground at 3pm!! 🍎🐼

We finished the afternoon with a boogie and a laugh with the best dancer competition (which Miss Douglas is still convinced she should have won!!) Our winners were Arran and Bryleigh who were cutting some shapes on the dance floor so were well deserving of their prizes! 💃🕺

The credit  planning and hard work of this party has to go to the House captains, Ivan and Phoebe have been working hard from the very beginning to ensure everything was ready to go and they put on an excellent time for the whole school!  ⭐🤩

Well done team!
