What a busy week it was! We explored different elements of numeracy, literacy and fine arts and sensory exploration connected to the changes that happen in late fall, as well as the seasonal event of Halloween! Although not every family celebrates this day, we explored some common elements that are present in this festive day and looked a little closer at some pumpkins! Students got to examine and draw two very different sized pumpkins. After our week exploration asking questions such as "Which was heavier? which was lighter?" we weighed both on the scale just to compare the sizes. We also measured the circumference of each using a string. Students also created some story-scenes using different sizes and shapes of paper. Following a pattern, they had to put the scene together using the paper. They also got to try some festive stamps to create both a setting and practiced using stencils to create characters. To finish off the week, we read Pete the Cat & the Five Little Pumpkins and created some black cats and pumpkins to re-tell the tale.
