We started off with Pumpkin Math and we estimated how many lines were on our pumpkins and what their circumference was.
After counting and measuring, we moved on to Pumpkin Science and we inquired whether a pumpkin would float or sink in water. Most of us were amazed to discover that a pumpkin floats! We cut open our pumpkin and, after observing its insides, discussed our theories as to why this would happen. It was a lot of fun!
After recess we did Pumpkin Writing and we used our three senses (sight, touch, and smell) to explore the inside and outside of our pumpkin before creating some pretty fantastic similes: "My pumpkin is as bumpy as a road", "my pumpkin is as cold as a snow day", "my pumpkin is as heavy as bricks", "my pumpkin is as squishy as seaweed", " my pumpkin is as gooey as slime", among many others!
We finished the day with our Costume Parade (everyone looked great!), a school-wide Monster Mash, and Halloween Centres!
It was such an exciting and fun day that I kept forgetting to take pictures, but here are a few:
