Our first Halloween craft activity was making lanterns. It was a lot of fun ripping and pasting tissue paper to a glass jar, then cutting out and sticking on a scary face!
The children were very pleased with the final result.
As part of our Human body IPC unit we were learning about healthy eating and the food pyramid. What better way to encourage healthy eating than to make a yummy pumpkin and curry soup for Halloween! First we read the recipe together, then we set to work together with the Upper Primary class. The children found out that it isn't easy cutting up onion and pumpkin into small pieces!
We served the pumpkin soup to all the parents who come to our Exit point on Friday afternoon. Of course, we thought we better try it first though!
Friday morning we gathered together with the other classes at ISG. We showed each other our costumes and sang a few Halloween songs!
On Friday afternoon we finished off our Human body IPC unit by inviting the parents in for our Exit point. We had all our work out on display and the children practiced talking to their parents about what they had learnt. And of course we all had some delicious pumpkin soup!
Have a great autumn break everyone and we'll see you back at school on November 3rd. Don't forget that the first day back we will be off to Brugge to visit the Sound Factory as part of our Entry Point of our new IPC unit called Look and Listen!
