APPLE BOBBING

To finish the Halloween festivities, we played a traditional game called ¨Bobbing for Apples.¨ In a bin filled with water you place a few apples to float. Each student had to try to catch an apple in their mouth without using their hands. It is more difficult than you think! It was pretty messy but lots of fun!!

SCARY STORIES

To bring some Halloween fright, Daron read the scary story ¨Bloody Mary.¨ This is the story of an old woman who steals children and later places a curse on the whole town. The students of 5th and 6th course really enjoyed it!


Next, we watched a Simpson´s episode that follows the famous story of ¨The Raven¨ by Edgar Allen Poe. It´s the story of a man who it turned crazy by a raven who has inhabited his house. Check out the video!

THRILLER

This is Daron´s favourite Halloween video and song. Have a look below! But beware, it´s a bit scary!!

And this is how we learnt how to dance Thriller. Daron showed us a few of her favourite dance moves from the video. It was really fun!
