After lunch, the Halloween party began, thanks to our brilliant house captains—Allyssa and Arran. Dressed to distress, we kicked off the afternoon with the costume parade which was a hit, and the judging was no easy task. After much deliberation here are the winners:

P1 Tom Wawrick
P2 Kendall Alexander
P3 Orla Neil
P4 Sally Warwick
P5 Rory Calvert

P6 Rebecca Manson
P7 Ruby McMillan

This year’s real design spectacle was the Best Pumpkin Competition 🎃. From glitter-covered masterpieces to pumpkins that had been chiselled to perfection, the creativity on display was nothing short of legendary. We had an array of amazing designs from owls, minions and even a burger (yes you did read that right!) After much deliberation our winners, chosen by our House Captains were:

Aila Greer – for her magical fairy house 🧚‍♀️
Joey Neill – for his loaded burger, topped with a seeded bun!🍔

After the judging was complete we played some spooky games – pass the pumpkin, musical statues and musical bumps before sitting down to refuel with some party food after all that dancing! Apple dookin’ followed, and we’d like to formally apologise to every face paint design that didn’t survive the splash zone!

It was a day of laughter, glitter, and just the right amount of chaos. If this is what Halloween looks like at Kirkcolm, we can’t wait for next year’s sequel – a huge thanks to our House captains Arran and Allyssa for all of the efforts they went to in organising such a fun-filled afternoon and the parents for the fabulous costumes and amazing carving assistance! 🎃🦇🕷👻🧛‍♂️
