There was a lot of excitement in the Red Class in the week leading up to Halloween! We had to stay inside most of the time because of the wet and windy weather, but we kept busy with many fun pumpkin related activities.

Painting, building, drawing and sculpting pumpkins:

There is always time for building:

I hope you all had a Happy Halloween!
