Halloween Special
Tonight’s From The Ground session was a spook-tacular Halloween special! There was a great turn out from both children and parents. Always lovely to see how the allotment brings families together.
All of the pumpkins were homegrown by the children on the allotment, and there were just enough! Little ones delighted in getting their hands covered in the slimy innards! Their curiosity was great to see.
The children enjoyed drawing faces on to their pumpkins. With guidance from parents, some very creepy designs were created!
It was a hive of activity around the table, which was covered by the new shelter from the pouring rain! Good job folk at Oakridge are a hardy bunch. Never deterred, even by a deluge!
Little ones mastered the art of using the small carving tools, great for their fine motor skills.
The children came up with lots of creatively carved faces for their pumpkins. From scary scar faces…
…to angry looking beef cakes.
There were some hideous toothy beasts too!
Tonight’s after school club was the last one of the year, sessions will start again in the New Year.
