We have loved exploring pumpkins. We have learnt that they can look very different: different sizes and weights; different colours and they look great when carved!
Having pumpkins in our class prompted us to share our experiences of pumpkins and dressing up up for Trick and treating .
- Drawing the pumpkins
- “The eye is like a triangle.”
- Painting it!
- Heavy! holding it with 2 hands.
- Scooping out the inside. “Its like candy floss!”
- So many seeds to spoon out
We left the scooped out pumpkin outside for a few days and it went “slimy” “smelly” and “Stinky” so we decided to smash it up and add to the wormery. “This is so disgusting!” the children said but worked together to get the pumpkin into the wormery! We are wondering now if the worms will like the pumpkin to eat!
- Smashed up pumpkin
- Working together to lift up the tray and tip it into the wormery
- Will the worms eat it?
