It's hard to believe that it is week four already! , Yesterday I got my clothes and lunch organised for today. I woke up and had a shower to wake me up , I was so tired and had the flu which didn't help at all. It was cold outside and the weather was miserable. I went to the school and met the four girls in the hall , we said our 'good mornings' and when it was time to go into the classroom I went in.
The teacher greeted me and told me what we would be doing for the day , because Halloween is approaching she decided to make pumpkin lanterns and ghosts. She told me how to make the ghosts first step by step.
While she taught the girls I called one over at a time to make their ghost. They each had a paper plate they had drawn faces on the day before. I punched a hole in the top with them and put string through to hang them from the ceiling. We stapled on crepe paper and stuck on hands. In the end they looked really well and very creative.
After big lunch we made pumpkin lanterns.Mrs. M helped with this. They each got a sheet of orange cardboard and folded it into eight long strips , then cut them out. They then glued them in various ways to make the outline of a pumpkin. This was difficult for senior infant girls to understand so we had to go to each girl and help them out. After that they cut out pumpkin faces on black paper and stuck them on. In the end they turned out very 'spooky' and looked really good.
When home time came and the children went home I hung their art work from the ceiling , this looked very spooky and was perfect for Halloween. I also made booklets for them. Needless to say I cannot wait for next week!
