Halloween Concertina

2nd grade students had a great time learning this Halloween tongue twister:

In a big, big house there's a small, small witch with a big big hat.
And the small, small witch with a big, big hat, has got a small, small cat.
And the small, small witch with a big, big hat, has got a small, small cat and a big, big bat.
And the small, small witch with a big, big hat and the small, small cat and the big, big bat say: "Happy Halloween!"

Halloween with the little ones

During the last few weeks, we learned many things about Halloween. From lots of vocabulary to a song. And even a chant about 5 little pumpkins. Children loved playing with all these stuff, too! Ask your child about it.

How to Carve a Pumpkin for Halloween

A well-known tradition is to carve a pumpkin for Halloween. Have you all got your jack-o-lanterns ready? Just in case you didn't have enough time to do it, go to your nearest grocery and get a nice pumpkin. Follow these steps to have the best jack-o-lantern of your neighbourhood. Ask an adult to help you.
1. Put an old newspaper under your pumpkin before you start working.
2. Ask an adult to cut a circle around the stem.
3. Remove the stem and dig in.
4. Use a big spoon to remove everything from the inside of the pumpkin; seeds and flesh.
5. Use a marker to draw the eyes, nose and mouth.
6. Ask an adult to cut out the face.
7. Put a candle inside the pumpkin. Switch of the lights and watch how it glows.
Have a nice and safe Halloween! :D
