We had a spooktacular time celebrating Halloween in school this year! 🎃 The children enjoyed a fantastic range of Halloween-themed activities, from baking, sports and art to coding. There was plenty of creativity, teamwork and Halloween fun throughout the day!

Our 6th class pupils also got into the spooky spirit by carving some wonderfully scary pumpkins, which now take pride of place in our Halloween display at the front door.

One of the highlights of the celebrations was our Halloween Assembly, where the children proudly showed off their fantastic costumes and performed some brilliant Halloween poems. We also announced the winners of our Best Costume Awards and revealed the winner of our much-anticipated annual Pumpkin Pod!

A huge thank-you to our wonderful Parents Association for organising a fantastic selection of Halloween games in the school hall. From Ghost Ping Pong and Witch Hat Ring Toss to Spider Target, The Flour Game and Pin the Hat on the Witch, there was no shortage of laughter, excitement and spooky challenges!

Finally, we would like to extend a big thank-you to all our staff and parents for their time, effort and enthusiasm in helping to make the celebrations so special for the children.
