Happy Halloween!

We had a busy week with many fun and engaging activities centered around, of course, Halloween!

There are many entertaining books to read at this time of year.  On Monday, the students enjoyed The House That Drac Built.  It's a story full of humour and colourful illustrations about Dracula's house and all of the spooky characters who decided to dwell there with him.

In groups, the children discussed the creatures that come out on Halloween.



Then they created booklets with descriptive words and bold and bright illustrations.

 

 

 

 

Division 2 celebrated Haji with Ahmed's family.  They feasted on tasty snacks!

 

 

On Wednesday morning, the children rotated through Halloween stations created and organized by our Teacher Candidates, Olivia and Sarah.  The stations involved baking and decorating Spookies (cookies with a spooky twist),

carving out some dance moves to Thriller,

and making decorations for the classroom and home.

 

On Friday, Dickens students and staff headed outside for our Dickens Triangle Clean Up.  Taking advantage of the "dry" weather and armed with buckets and tongs, we picked up whatever garbage we could find.  The encouraging news is that our neighbourhood is pretty clean!

A great week was had by all.  Thanks goes out to all of you who support this great bunch of learners! 

See you next week!
