Halloween has arrived in Ness Class

What a spooky week in Ness. Our class indicated they wanted to learn about Pumpkins this week and made this a big part of our learning.

Did you know that pumpkin flesh is used to make a delicious pie? It is a very common treat in America!

 

 

Also, did you know the old Celtic practice of carving faces into vegetables to ward off evil spirits spread to the United States with Irish immigrants in the 19th century — and soon jack-o’-lanterns were an iconic part of Halloween celebrations.

We found out, carving pumpkins is very hard work.

But we got there in the end.

By Friday, we were all dressed up and ready for the Halloween Party.

And at the party, we had great fun with our Mainstream friends. A big congratulations to Alex, who won the ‘Best Costume’ for the P5s.
