We’re getting all Halloweeny in The Children’s House this week!! We’ll be decorating the classrooms, making Halloween playdough, dressing up to get in the spirit of things, doing a bat handprint craft, and also an experiment to demonstrate the bat’s power of smell (using a blindfold & identifying & matching different scents). As well as this we will be doing leaf sponge painting – of course alongside the huge amount of work that the children do, so it’ll be a busy week!

Thanks to everyone who’s been coming in to observe the children and do the follow up parent teacher meetings – we really appreciate you taking the time to do it!

Duilleoga Deasa

Duilleoga deasa deasa (nice nice leaves),
Duilleoga deasa buí (nice yellow leaves),
Duilleoga deasa deasa (nice nice leaves),
Ag damhsa leis an ngaoth (dancing with the wind).

3 Black Cats (tune of 3 blind mice)

3 black cats, 3 black cats,
In black hats, in black hats,
They all jumped onto the witch’s broom,
They teased the ghost & the goblins too –
Did you ever see such a hullabaloo?
On Halloween, on Halloween!
