WOW, what a week! The students were so excited for Pumpkinfest and we were able to participate in a lot of activities to prepare for Pumpkinfest. Here is a bit of what we were up to during week six in portable two:
PUMPKIN CARVING – Every year, each student at Waterford Public School gets to carve a pumpkin for Pumpkinfest. All of the pumpkins are donated by a local farmer. Here are some pictures of our pumpkin carving adventure in the gym:
WALKING OUR PUMPKINS TO THE PUMPKIN PYRAMID – Each year, we walk our jack-o-lanterns over to the pumpkin pyramid for display during Pumpkinfest. We are very thankful for the Waterford Lions and Lionesses who volunteer their time and work hard to make all of this happen. Here are some pictures of this event:
FLOAT IN THE PARADE – Waterford Public School will have a float in the parade. The theme of our school float is, Fall into a Good Book. Each class was asked to choose a book and paint a pumpkin that resembled a character from the book. Our class picked the book, Miss Nelson is Missing. Viola Swamp was painted on our class pumpkin and each student in the class made a sad face to go around a missing sign for Miss Nelson. Here are some pictures of what we made:
