On Friday October 25th many of the Kindergarten classes went on a pumpkin walk. With many parent volunteers to help keep us safe, we set off down Ossington Avenue and along College Street with our wagons in tow. It was fun to be out in our community and to see all of the people and local business. Some of the shops were already decorated for Halloween and we even saw a green pumpkin as well as one that was white in colour!
Once we arrived at the little market, we had to choose from a wide selection of pumpkins that ranged in size and shape. Mrs. Quintana and some parents held up various pumpkins and the decision was made based on those that got the biggest cheers. Each class ended up with a great big pumpkin and a couple of little ones to bring back to school. In our classrooms we did all kinds of activities around our pumpkins including designing faces with different expressions for our jack-o-lanterns as well as carving and cleaning out the pumpkins and trying to separate the seeds from all of the slimy, stringy stuff that was inside.
We could never have made our way along such busy streets had it not been for the volunteer parents and the Vice Principal and Principal who accompanied us on our trip. Thank you so much for making this community outing possible and for helping to keep us safe.
