\"jk-pumpkin-surgery-oct-2013-`\"<\/a>Back in the week of Halloween, the JK children were all excited about what they were going to be wearing to our PTA Halloween party.\u00a0 During circle time, they described their costumes and shared what they know about Halloween.<\/p>\n

One of the children explained how his grandmother was going to make a Jack\u2013o-Lantern with him. He was asked if he would like to share his experience with his peers here at school\u2026he quickly liked the idea and said, \u201cYes\u201d.<\/p>\n

With the children dressed up as neurosurgeons, with their gloves and mask ready to operate on the pumpkins, this was truly a day\u2019s lesson covering every area of learning.<\/p>\n

We have some wonderful photos of the children operating on the pumpkins, so do click on…<\/p>\n

After looking and talking about all the pumpkins that were brought in, the children watched them being cut open and carved.\u00a0 This activity naturally led into looking at what was inside and learning about the pulp and seeds. The children talked about the texture, smell and colour, and how and where pumpkins grow and how they can be used.\u00a0 They also chose shapes to decorate the pumpkin faces.\u00a0 We also linked in the Letterland sound of the day – \u201cJ\u201d for Jumping Jim with his Jack-O-Lantern.<\/p>\n

Following their own initiative and ideas, the children were really involved and engaged.\u00a0 They thoroughly enjoy the fun of learning through this theme day.\u00a0 It was wonderful to connect grandmas and children working together \u2013 thank you for donating the pumpkins and for coming in to work with us.
