Pumpkin Fun!



What an exciting day we had yesterday!  A group of  Grade 10 students from our high school (Elgin Park Secondary) brought pumpkins for us to carve!  It was so much fun! They came with big pumpkins and lots of friendly smiles!  Some of them were students who used to go here.

We are hard at work!  First we had to scoop. . . . digging out those seeds was messy work!  Many of us brought bags to save our seeds,  Mmmm.... we love roasted pumpkin seeds.  Have you ever tried roasting pumpkin seeds?  







Next came the planning stage.  Some of us brought plans with us, and others brainstormed on the spot.  Our Grade 10 Buddies did the carving with a little help from us.

Our Grade 10 Buddies were awesome.  They were so helpful, patient and encouraging.  



Thank you Grade 10s for bringing us the pumpkins to carve and letting us take home such wonderful jack-o-lanterns to share with our families!

  1. We like all the different pumpkins your class made. We like how you made one of the pumpkin's eyes into stars. Our class is a little bit jealous that you got to carve pumpkins at school! How long did it take your class to carve so many pumpkins? Did the 10th graders surprise you or was this planned? How many pumpkins did you carve in all? Almost everyone in our class either carved or decorated a pumpkin. But, sadly, we did them at home or at parties. From, the Goldstein Class
