We celebrated Happy Halloween in Room 18 on 31st October. We started early and carried on all day. We decorated the room first and then we did Happy Halloween Chunk of the Week, Happy Halloween Science, Happy Halloween poem, Happy Halloween Maths and Happy Halloween Reading. It was such a full-on day, that we couldn't fit in Halloween Art, so we did that later.

| The jack-o-lantern made the classroom smell of cooking pumpkin as the candle warmed the inside of the shell. |
 |
| We decorated the classroom with spider webs |
 |
| We cut out bats for the windows and gave them cellophane eyes so they glowed in the sunlight. |
 |
| Everyone looked spectacular! |
 |
| Mrs Bear didn't look very well. |
 |
| We made static electricity by rubbing balloons in our hair so that we could make the little paper ghosts dance. |
 |
| Our Happy Halloween chunk of the week was 'oo' - we made words using gummy eyes for the 'oo' - which meant that we could write, read and then EAT our words! |
 |
| We did some Happy Halloween multiplication with playdough - here we have (2x5) + 3 = .... |
 |
| We read, copied and illustrated our skeleton poem with ...... a skeleton. |
 |
| In Happy Halloween Science, we learned about physical and chemical reactions, and sorted them into two groups. Then we carried out a chemical reaction by cracking a glow stick to mix two chemicals together to make coloured lights. We tried these out in our Happy Halloween cave where it was dark. |
 |
In Happy Halloween Maths, we made spider webs by making pairs to 10, or 100 or even 1,000.
