Our Week October 31 - November 4

Hi Families,

Here are some stories from our Halloween week!
We were working hard this morning writing stories about this week for our blog. 

Monday was Halloween! We got to be in the Kindergarten parade and visit the other classes. We even got to go to the portables! The big kids said 'Hi' and we said 'Happy Halloween'! We were so excited on Halloween!
We had so much fun on our parade and trick or treating that night that we decided to pretend to Trick or treat in class! We made houses and candy bags. We went door to door, and even visited our neighbouring classes.

Halloween Stamping

Using special shaped stamps, we made pictures and patterns. Can you guess what they are?




Pumpkin Painting and Faces
Using sponges, we each made our own pumpkin. Then we made faces using black paper. Some pumpkins are happy. Some are sad. Some have silly faces.


We really liked watching our friends perform the Five Little Pumpkin song at last week's assembly so this week we learned it too! We each made a Video of ourselves retelling the poem. These videos are in our Digital Portfolios!

Here is one the Bluejays made!

Eyeball Math
Ms. Boag brought in pumpkin ten frames and eyeballs for our math centre. We sorted the eyes, made patterns, and made different number sets. 
Bluejay LL visited the math centre and created a new game for us! It is called the Magic Number Game. Using 2 trays, she found out that some eyeballs will stick to the lid to make numbers!

Light Table Skeletons
After reading 'Skeleton Hiccups' we were inspired to make our own skeletons at the light table. It reminded us of X-ray machines. 




Read Alouds from this week
Some other great reads from this week were 'The Gruffalo' and 'The Halloween Countdown'. We didn't think they were scary, even though one said 'BOO' at the end.
