P2/1 wanted to to a mini Halloween topic so last week they did their normal literacy and numeracy activities with a spooky theme. They had fun writing potions in the writing area, writing tricky words n pumpkins, making spooky cvc words, counting spooky objects and lots more! We even created our own magical pumpkins in Art and made our own vampire faces. We learned about the history of Halloween too!
“Halloween used to be called Samhain…means Summers ending.” Ryan
“People used to make jack-o-lanterns to scare the ghosties away…they don’t like the lights.” Noah
“We dress up no because it’s fun but in olden days they dressed up to scare bad people and evil away.” H
“Trick or treating used to be called guising.” Adam
