Appropriately blurry ghostly photo as pupils 'dive' into the snacks which they had patiently stared at for a long time before I remembered to tell them they could help themselves!
The annual story telling event on or around Hallowe’en that has become ‘Spooky Happenings’ was held in the school library at lunchtime of Friday 29th October 2010. This event, started in 2006, is now in its 5th year of running and has become an established part of the library calendar. 25 pupils and one member of staff attended over the course of both lunches and partook of the snacks available and the ‘darkened’ atmosphere in the Reading Zone which once again was decorated for the occasion.
As last year, the event was kept informal and only advertised in the week running up to it. There are enough resources collated, now, so that there doesn’t need to be too much research to source ghost stories, meaning that, in theory, pupils shouldn’t necessarily be hearing or reading out the same ones every year. Although, having said those that had been to these events previously requested my own personal stories again which I was honoured to retell. Pupils also shared their own stories. FS
