I run downstairs to find our rake, then head outside. I rake up all the leaves that have fallen off the tree into a pile, then put them into a big, black bag. ★ Today we are learning about the life cycle of a pumpkin. First, you have to plant a pumpkin seed, over the next few weeks the seed will start to grow and sprout, before long you can start to see the start of a green pumpkin growing, then a while later the pumpkin turns orange! ★ Today I’m carving my first pumpkin. First, I use a pen to mark the design of my pumpkin, Next, I use a knife to cut off the top of the pumpkin. Then, I empty all the seeds out from the middle of the pumpkin. Last, I start to cut out the design on the front of the pumpkin. ★ Today is Halloween and we’re going to a costume party! I put on my black cat costume and head to the party. The first person I see is Jack, he is dressed up as Frankenstein! Then, we see Peter who is dressed up as a pumpkin! Finally, I see my best friend Annie, who is dressed up as a witch! ★ Today is Halloween, me and my sister have been carving a pumpkin ready to put in our window. Once we have finished, I dress up as dracula and we go trick or treating. When it gets dark, I thought I saw a witch flying past on her broomstick, then a black cat ran past us, chasing the witch! I blink, wondering if it was a dream. ★ Today, we are going to visit a haunted house. When we open the door we hear rustling and we scream as a bat flies over our heads, out into the dark. We have a look around the house and find a coffin, as we open it, a mummy jumps out of it and chases us! When we stop, it’s my older brother, Jason, teasing us! ★ Me and my friend are going ghost hunting in the woods! The woods are very dark, and lots of the trees have lost all of their leaves so they look bare and scary. Behind a tree I can see some spooky eyes looking at us, when we get closer, out jumps a giggly ghost in a witch’s hat!

Halloween Number Puzzles, Counting to 10

(0)
This Halloween themed activity is a great way for your students to work on their math, number, counting, fine motor and problem solving skills. As well as all these skills, this activity will provide your students with the opportunity to look at images of Halloween and use these as a talking point. The puzzles come in 3 different difficulty levels; • Level 1 - 0-3 • Level 2 - 0-5 • Level 3 - 0-10 There is a range of ways that these can be used in your classroom such as; • Print out the b/w puzzles, cut them up and hand them out to your students. Have your students put the puzzles together, sticking them onto a piece of paper/into their work book, then colour them in. • Print out the puzzles, cut them up and laminate them. Use them as a center activity where your students have to look at the numbers on the bottom of each puzzle piece, put them into numerical order to make the puzzle. • Print out two copies of each puzzle (one copy can be b/w), laminate one as a full puzzle (i recommend the b/w one) and then cut out the puzzle pieces on the other puzzle. Laminate the puzzle pieces. Have your students match the individual pieces onto the completed puzzle. This provides a lower ability option for students struggling. Instructions are also included on first pages of each PDF document. I would highly recommend laminating each of the individual task cards so that they will be stronger, therefore longer lasting. This is a great way to keep students motivated and engaged while working on their ten frame counting skills. Comes in both b/w and col option for your printing preference.
