Oíche Shamhna
Le coicís anuas, bhí na páistí an-ghnóthach ag díriú ar cheiliúradh Oíche Shamhna. Le linn am ciorcail, labhair muid faoi cheiliúradh Oíche Shamhna; thaitin sé go mór leis na páistí a dtraidisiúin éagsúla a mhíniú agus cad a mbeidh siad á ngléasadh suas do Oíche Shamhna agus cé leis a rachadh siad ag imirt "trick or treat". Chanamar neart amhrán spreagtha ag an bhFómhar agus Oíche Shamhna.
Don ealaín agus ceardaíocht, chruthaíomar damháin alla, taibhsí, sciathán leathair, pumpcíní agus maisceanna. Rinneamar go leor ar an téama Oíche Shamhna - súgradh praiseach le pumpkins, greamáin Oíche Shamhna, agus coire cailleach. Thaitin sé go mór leis na páistí pumpkin a phéinteáil freisin.
Le linn an dhá sheachtain, rinneamar neart rudaí éagsúla dár ngníomhaíochtaí bácála ar nós rollaí ispíní mumaí agus damháin alla as Oreo.
Thaitin sé go mór leis na páistí gléasadh suas ina éadaí maisiúla don Oíche Shamhna coisir, inar imir muid cluichí Oíche Shamhna agus bhí dioscó againn. Guímid Oíche Shamhna scanrúil agus spúcach ar gach duine agus bainigí taitneamh as an"trick or treat".
Halloween
Over the last two weeks the children were very busy focusing on the celebration of Halloween. During circle time we spoke about the celebration of Halloween; the children loved explaining their different traditions and what they were dressing up as for Halloween and who they would go trick or treating with. We sang lots of Autumn and Halloween inspired songs.
For our arts and crafts we created spiders, ghosts, bats, pumpkins and masks. We explored the Halloween theme messy play with pumpkins, Halloween stickers, and a witches cauldron. The children also loved painting a pumpkin.
Over the two weeks we made lots of different things for our baking activities such as mummy sausage rolls and Oreo spiders.
The children loved dressing up for our Halloween fancy dress party where we played Halloween games and had a disco. We wish everyone a spooky and scary Halloween and enjoy trick or treating.
